WHAT THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT

Each of us has three great operational systems in our body : (1) the circulatory, (2) the nervous,and (3) the glandular. These three great designs are closely related, inter-dependent, andassociated as to function. In this study we will separate the glandular from the nervous andcirculatory systems.

In order to fully understand the function of the family of glands, we must first know the purposeof the body organs and what to do to avert trouble or complications which have been imposedupon us. This we know will require some serious study.

For example, until very recent times the world of medicine did not know the real purpose of thespleen or how its relation to the stomach and the bile aides in our digestive process. The spleenhas a very great function and is of absolute necessity in a normally organized body.

In this book we will come to know our glands. We will learn to manipulate all of our bodyorgans mentally. We will learn mental control as well as physical massage brought about bycontrolled body movements.

Because we have not lived properly nor exercised correctly, our body organs have developedadhesions and to the extent there are adhesions, there can be trouble.

All of our so called blues are to be found in adhesions which tend to sap our body energies.That is how old age creeps in ! We lose our buoyancy and the figure that goes with youth, realyouth. We experience a constant tired feeling and occasional sudden exhaustion. For example,melancholy can develop when there are adhesions between the liver and the intestines. Becauseof that dragging condition we get the blues.

In a body free from adhesions the organs are controlled by virtue of their own force and power.The magnetic field of operation is free. The individual will be happy, joyous, always in a goodmood, never cross, mean, or angry. Awakened at any time of the night, the eyes will openquickly --- wide and clear.

With the magnetic field of operation working freely in the body we are always ready to applyourselves to the tasks of the day, knowing that the means are ever available to accomplish allthose things which we desire to demonstrate in our lives, for new health fulfills new purposes.

HOW YOU CAN ACHIEVE GOOD HEALTH

The human manifestation is not a physical being in the true sense of the word. Nature intendedfor man to become equally spiritual in expression. To be spiritualized, to be able to makecontact with any other similar materialization throughout the universe --- one way this can beaccomplished is by awakening the glandular system.

The study of the glandular system is truly a most challenging endeavor and a complicated onetoo, if we were to go into tedious detail. There is so much to know because of all the mentalphases created in man, the results of which show in the glandular substances supplied to thebrain. The one cannot function without the other --- no glandular system --- no brain. But thebrain, like the bloom of the tree avails us nothing if this bloom, these buds, these flowers, arenot turning into fruit reaching and gaining the roots of the spirit.

4

The brain is our sum and substance by virtue of which we are able to come to a thoroughunderstanding of ourselves. Our heart can only bear out all that our mind is capable ofcomprehending. Even the heart and heart culture avails us nothing if the brain --- the vehicle ofthe soul --- lacks the balanced glandular activity to expand and come to full maturity.

What is to be done ? We must learn to animate and re-animate and charge and re-charge thesebrain cells. Even science admits that only a small portion of the brain is still not being used toits full capacity.

The circulatory system assures us of a more perfect organic operation; the nervous system givesus vim, vigor, strength and vitality to carry out our better living program.

But we must awaken the glandular system to be able to charge the brain cells, releasing theintelligence contained therein for the paving of the way to absolute freedom from limitation anddisease.

We will learn, with such understanding and confidence in ourselves, in every part of our being,that we know every particular group intelligence, for every organ has its own intelligence byvirtue of the relation of the component parts.

The system works in groups, not as individual entities and individual cells, but everything inyour body works together and all the diverse parts have their particular intelligence and thisintelligence has to have full sway. For this reason we instruct our intelligence, these groupintelligences; we instruct them as to their purpose and they in turn educate their cellular part.

It is a process of education and information --- informing yourself as to what is expected of eachand every group, and then it works well. Talking to oneself is the proper and right thing to doand we want to remember to establish a rapport with the various component parts of our make-up and not to leave it to the mind to continuously counsel and control. It is wearing on the mindand also depletes our body energies.

There are no limitations. Whatever we expect to reach, when it is reached, it is not the end ofour endeavors; it is only one more of those innumerable, uncountable, unlimited revelations thatare ever waiting for us to accept. Life is continuous and with it comes harmony, ever unfolding.

Only a few are born with a glandular system so far developed as to remove all tendencies tofear, doubt, and uncertainty. The rest of us need to train ourselves to find better ways to use ourglandular system in order that we shall have a fulfilling and rich life.

Chapter One

THE 3 PHYSICAL BODY SYSTEMS

As I have previously stated, only a few persons are born with a glandular system so welldeveloped that they go through life free from uncertainty, doubt, fear, and even without theennervating effects of worry. This is because one side of their make-up balances the other. Theyare in harmony with themselves.

The rest of us must train and educate our-selves, for the majority of persons go through life withsorrows, trials, tribulations and heartaches of every description. A man, robust and strong, falls

6

prey to arthritis, ulcers, gout, and cancer because there is a lack of physical unity within hisglandular system.

Such a thing as "dis-ease" does not really exist. Every cell that makes up this cellular system isabsolutely perfect and possesses health and strength. Every one of our cells contains its ownintelligence and will perform its part with ease so long as there are no cross currents ofconfusion.

When negative interferences set in the glandular system is imposed upon and compelled toseparate itself to the confines of its own realms. Once separated from the brain, the effect uponthe person becomes apparent in different phases of illusion, delusion and lack of awareness.Caught Up in this web, the individual is not capable of asking himself, "Why am I sick ? Whatshall I do ?"

If we are here to create and re-create, then we are also here to rebuild our human constitutionthat it may become fit to reveal the intelligence which lies embodied in every particle of ourbeing.

In addition to the health of the body which we must have and the power of mind which werealize, we will eventually be conscious of the infinite designs, and for this we will need toknow ourselves better.

The Role of the Glandular System

Will we, or can we know ourselves better through the circulatory system ? Do we knowourselves better through the nervous system ? We may know many things based upon sight,hearing, or the senses in general. We may become physically strong, and powerful withknowledge and we may be endowed with the vigor and vitality to withstand strain and pressure --- and still lack a high level of consciousness.

Consciousness depends upon the third of the great systems which govern and control life, andthat is the glandular system.

The circulatory system, when it is controlled scientifically and understood as to its method ofoperation, assures perfect performance. It keeps the organs in their respective places assigned tothem by nature. It is designed to be self adjusting due to normal, natural circulation.

Organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines are controlled by the nervous system, and solong as the nervous system receives a certain amount of energy, these organs are cared forproperly. For example, the liver will furnish the required juices to increase the process ofdigestion.

Where there is perfect, proper and normal assimilation due to the dual action on the part of thestomach and the liver, vitamins are a creation within the process of this plan of nature.

The Art of "Nourishing" the Brain

When vitamins appear in our bodies due to the process of assimilation they are capable ofattracting, by virtue of their dual nature, all salts and acids necessary to induce a distillingprocess. Because of the combination between acids and salts, an ethereal substance is created.These energy substances are later taken into the glandular system after they have beenthoroughly refined.

This spirit substance is then carried to the brain --- not feeding the brain --- but quickening andanimating it as the spiritual energy passes through. Soon the substance will evaporate and be

7

carried off through the sweat glands, the breath, and other natural channels as the work isaccomplished --- that of vibrating, recharging and reinforcing the brain cells.

Through this smooth process of nature the individual becomes more certain of himself,confident in his conduct, and more positive. When he has the truth he knows his position isright, for all is in accordance with natural law.

It is the glandular system to which we should now turn for a program of better living. We havelearned to stimulate the nervous system and its corresponding lines within the circulatory systemand have become more conscious of the organs of the body. But we need to awaken all of ourbody cells. The tissues of our being must become alive, agitated, by virtue of their ownoperation paving the way to a higher, a nobler and more inspiring understanding of ourselves.

We should ask ourselves the question, "How can such a state be accomplished ?"

We are beginning to understand some of the things that pertain to life and eternity. We havelearned to the extent that our brain has been developed and controlled by the mind, and to thedegree that the mind is attuned to the operations of the soul, the psychic state, realizing its at-one-ment with spirit. We have seen but not comprehended ! So we continue to seek thatdesired state of conscious revelation through inspiration.

If we want joy and happiness everything must work in accordance with the perfect design. It isall planned and fixed for us and we need only to appeal to that part and portion to which eachgift of nature is assigned and all phases of the good life will fall into place.

As more and more we begin to use the intelligence we have to help, ourselves, we shall takedominion over our bodies and consequently the state of our affairs.

We Paint Our Own Picture

When an artist paints a picture it is his own creation. It belongs to him and he can do with it ashe chooses.

We are the result of that same creative energy which has been used in creating worlds andplanets or planetary systems and that same creative energy is within each and everyone of us.That one Intelligence governs evolutions and evolutionary processes and, as we too areintelligence materialized in a small measure, we can apply those same evolutionary laws to ourdaily walks of life. We can use he creative energy to the extent that we can exercise that ability.

Leonardo Da Vinci observed, "Chance favors the mind that is prepared."

This means that in order to reach that coveted point of realization we will need a smoothlyoperating glandular system. We should study ourselves with that goal in mind and at the sametime have a love and desire for more knowledge of the operations of the abstract side of ourbeing.

All our development is conducted through and by virtue of our mind and heart. We must havelove for all things. For this reason we were told, "Have ye love for one another." This includesourselves and all that we do. We cannot expect to have a healthy body, a beautiful garden, anefficient office, or a profitable business unless we have an unbounded love for it.

An art teacher with a fluourishing studio became very ill with throat cancer. She closed theclasses and for a time had many sad and disappointed students. Upon the recommendation ofone of them, she became acquainted with her glandular systems. She learned how to talk withher glands, to know them and to bless them. She began to imagine her doctor as she went tohim on her scheduled appointments. She kept imagining his astonishment as he pronounced her

8

cured. Just before going to sleep at night, she joyously saw herself back again with her students.

In less than a month she was in fact back in her studio teaching oil painting. One of her studentswent on to become a very famous painter. The artist found herself in larger facilities andenjoying life as never before.

More and more we come to realize that everything in nature is set by fixed laws. Though wemay scheme and manipulate, nature often decides otherwise because we have within useverything needed for perfection, so wonderfully arranged until we begin to "control" it forourselves.

Revitalizing the Circulatory System

We can stimulate the circulatory system through foods, drinks and strenuous gymnastics therebyrousing ourselves to a higher pitch but in the end we find that it is not lasting nor beneficial tothe body.

In order to obtain a feeling of well being, the first step is to relieve the glands of unnecessaryweight. What would that be ? Our food. Not that the glands can be fed directly or that they canabsorb food but the food selected should be the kind that is easily digested and assimilated andwill place no burdens on the body organs. The proper diet brings fewer problems for the glands.

Whenever we select the diet that is conducive to our temperament we can improve the quality ofour blood, the performance of our nervous system, and the reduction of weight pressure --- all ofwhich tend to impair the functions of our organic make-up. When we practice good nutritionwe assist the glandular system for it can then more easily create the internal and external fluidsthat we need for strength and vitality.

When the circulatory system was first "discovered" impetus was given to the study of the humanbody bringing forth a wealth of information that cannot be overestimated. Once the sympatheticnervous system was revealed to us many methods were devised to revitalize the ganglia andalong with it we begain to realize the important role that nerves play in maintaining normal bodyfunctions.

As we began to comprehend our potentialities we realized that as the glandular system develops,then the intelligence faculties come to the fore through the performance of the brain. Theseintelligences establish themselves throughout the various parts of the body --- in every cell andtissue. This is why we need to learn how we can train our tissues and cells to revive, rejuvenate,and recreate, for in them lies all the atomic power which contains the life-giving secrets of theuniverse.

As we have grown in our understanding and knowledge we have learned that everything innature is dual in its operation --- it operates in both directions. We know that our blood, with itsred and white corpuscles, is controlled, governed, and directed by a magnetic field. The largerthe magnetic field, the more it can expand, then to that extent the control on the part of thecirculation becomes normal in accordance with fixed law. The intelligence then awakens to itsown consciousness or realization, and for this reason everything that is to be expected of thecirculatory system is being conducted in a harmonious and orderly manner.

Attuning the Nervous System

By forcing and controlling our nervous system we can make ourselves perform for a certainlength of time --- and then we collapse.

The mental sphere would always be at ease. We should consider our minds as a king on a

9

throne, sending out orders. Then if each attendant performs its particular part everything iscarried out and working well we shall have more time and more opportunities to be in thecondition to be able to think.

When we feel perfectly relaxed and are at ease, that tranquillity is transmitted to the mind so thatit can charge the group intelligences with information to perform their part.

The more we relax the easier it is for us to take our position in life. Step by step we acquaintourselves with the means at our command to pave the way into eternity. The power for thenervous system lies in the breath. The heart distributes body energies, and the brain reveals to usthe treasures of our nature.

If there is no connection between the brain and the glands we are senseless. We want to knowwhat is hidden deep within our brain cells for they are of inestimable value, and we can begin toknow as we adjust our glandular system.

Many persons have taken what is called "Heart Culture" and the study of refinement and culture.Naturally they already have that tendency and adapt easily to everything pertaining torefinement and culture. But should one converse with them on topics of philosophy, science, artand music, for example, we discover how little they truly "know".

They are refined in their own atmosphere, but if another element is involved, they become lostand are capable of being as mean and cruel as the lowest form of humanity. That kind of "heartculture" is of little value for if the mind does not correspond to the vibrations of the heart, if anequilibrium cannot be established, how valueless is that type of culture.

It becomes necessary then, for us not only to know something about ourselves but how to directour nervous system too toward a harmonious equalization of the total being.

To facilitate this ideal state of being, we turn our attention again to the glandular system.

Unlocking the Storehouse

The key to the treasure house of knowledge and understanding is to be found in the glandularsystem, for it contains the most effective means to revitalize the brain cells. This it will do to theextent that the mind is capable and willing to reveal.

The awakening of the brain cells is of absolute necessity to assist us in accomplishing ourgrowth, development and unfoldment. With all the knowledge we have acquired so far, we havenot yet gained that coveted level of accomplishment. We need to use our freedom for it willassure us the ability to exercise and use our natural talents.

As the revitalized cells become reinforced, other cells which have been dormant becomecharged and animated. New thought waves surface in out minds. Things in our lives that wecould not account for and which seemed "beyond us" are made clear --- as the system goes onrecharging.

The more we unfold and develop the more we keep growing until we reach that state ofassurance where we no longer have doubts. Uncertainty does not exist for us and we are notafraid for there is no room for the ennervating emotion of fear within a smoothly operatingglandular arrangement. We were not placed on this planet Earth to labor, hoard and accumulate.Nor to know trials and tribulations of every description. If so, life would not be worthwhile.Rather, we are here to learn about this amazing universe and the center of the galaxies so far aswe are concerned --- in that wonderful creation we have come to know as ourselves.

10

Knowledge Is Power

In this study we shall need to know about the relationship of things and the law ofcorrespondency governing and controlling the objective world.

As human beings we have all the endowments necessary to protect ourselves from any possibleinvasion --- personal or otherwise --- all we need is more physical, mental, spiritual and psychicgrowth. It is imperative that we enter a state of maturity where we do not find ourselvescontinually sliding back on an uncertain path. We should be cognizant of the steps we are totake, meanwhile doing nothing hastily as we calculate, plan, reason, and at the same time havingcourage, for whenever we propose to go a step further than nature has endowed us with theability to do, when we want to develop to a point of greater realization, we cannot expect it tocome to us by folding our hands serenely and waiting. It will not come that way.

Our principle glands need to be retouched so that they become active and utilize the sustainingsubstance which otherwise goes to waste. Through thought and consideration we come to realizethat all development has to be conducted through and by virtue of our own mind and heart.Love is the catalyst. It is through the operation of the glandular system that the lovingconsciousness of the presence of divine intelligence comes to us.

Much worship in this world is simply a form of fear. It is fear that makes persons subservient,not love. Love calls for no language, no string of words, no prayers. It is from the heart. Loveknows no possession, no selfishness, for it is uniting, binding, completeness for the purpose ofgaining the highest state of joy and happiness in life. The thought of one person blends with thethought of another and we begin to know and enjoy the highest possible state that can come toany human being.

We Begin With A Pattern

A famous mathematician and astronomer observed, "I find that I do not dare to think about thecomplexity and the variety of things, for whenever I attempt to do so I feel utterly incapable; Ifind I do not know anything. And so as not to expose myself to myself I just stop thinking. Irealize that one lifetime will never be long enough to enable one to comprehend and realize thecomplexity of all things."

It is true that after we spend our time and money to learn, we all find sooner or later that weknow so very little. We have gained a great deal but there is so much more.

"There are more things in heaven than you dreamest of," Horatio stated.

We are reminded of the words of Jesus, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God." Be bright ! Beperfect ! Do not remain in one little groove but become conscious of the possibilities around andabout you --- then all else will be added.

We get so much more out of life if we possess a body wherein we have discovered a means thatwill accomplish anything and everything. Like a delicate instrument, it will become more andmore compact until at last the apparatus will be smaller than a watch, no wires, no poles. Youcarry it in your pocket and make your own connections --- and then go a step further. In additionto your ability of seeing, comprehending, understanding, you will have the disc which makes iteasier for you to see into the realms of spirituality.

Everyone will not be attuned to that same level --- your body needs to vibrate with it to catch itat all. To the individual who is not developing, the instrument will not be useful, for if it was,how unjust the world would be.

Everything worthwhile that we want requires our undivided attention. In the glandular study

11

our pattern of thinking and body movement is laid out for us. It now becomes our ownresponsibility to use the gifts that have been presented.

As we turn our attention to these gifts our lives will become more and more meaningful.

So Little Time Is Required

The body movement routine needs to be done regularly, for just a few minutes each day.However, it does demand our attention during those times --- as with anything else. In thepractice of music one must exercise every day. During the appointed time, one must dismisseverything else from the mind.

As with any sort of regularly scheduled discipline, when the hour approaches which we have setaside for self improvement, we find ourselves busy with so many alluring distractions. We findexcuses for ourselves of every description, willing as we profess to be about our new program.This is a normal and natural course --- for the average person.

To lift oneself from the "rut" of the humdrum life requires only initial effort. We need just a fewminutes a day to lift ourselves above and beyond the old level but we do need those moments torealize that we are taking one step nearer our goal.

Soon the temptations and security of the old feelings, which of course are all we have everknown, begin to loose their power over us, and do not charm us as before. We will outgrowthem both --- temptations and false security --- and they will no longer restrain our life, for theycannot compete with the grand and glorious opportunities which the world truly has to offer theaware person.

A seedling becomes an edible, delicious and nourishing fruit through budding. We too, may usethe same growth principle to charge our glands, and consequently the brain, with a revitalizedblood stream and a flow of energy that will quicken the brain and illumine the mind to a higherdegree of understanding of life and eternity. It lies within the power of man and woman todelve into the secret chambers of their being and avail themselves of the treasures hidden thereand direct them toward a process of reclamation which can result in the successful attainment ofany type of endeavor they should choose.

We Need Not Grow Old

We can stay young by developing a higher state of consciousness. The same mental power thathas proven itself in the past will continue to do so in the future. We simply need that assurancegained through implicit faith in the knowledge that everything must adjust itself in accordanceto time and season, for all that has come to us in the past is from the infinite source. It can neverbe exhausted.

This attitude is reflected in a wonderfully pleasant long life of confidence, assurance and faith.Through the application of the mind, the brain, there is nothing hidden, nothing strange andmysterious, nothing mystical. Everything is revealed !

It is glorious to see things we never saw before, things we thought could not exist. There arethings in this world that are sublime and miraculous in their nature. It is possible to see with theeyes of flesh, to hear the awe inspiring music of the stars, and to know of other worlds. To havethese gifts come to us within the range of our hearing and to be able to contemplate them withour mortal mind is one of the goals ahead of us in this study.

If we desire to live a life of revelation and inspiration it is well worth while to develop the latentforces of our being into a higher state of consciousness and realization.

12

The glandular system is of such great importance because it is the means to final emancipationwith absolute independence and freedom. We realize that we need to enter our mind. But how,when the mind is like the shore of a mighty ocean ? How are we going to draw out of that mindwhat it contains when we think with that same source and power that created the mind ?

Mind is a result of collectivity. It is a unit of all the incomprehensible in evolutionary processes,thus it must be based on something.

We can liken the glandular system to a seed. Not only must the seed sprout but at the same timeit sends out its little feelers, reaching for growth and stability in the universe.

There is an ascending, or branching upward, of our glandular make-up and there is also adescending part or counter part. By virtue of its control and development we becomeacquainted not only with what is contained in the brain cells but with all the functions of ourorganic arrangements which, like the roots of the seed, sends its feelers into the earth. Thechemical compounds of the cell life are carried to the heart of the being. The substance iscarried from the cell life, the atom, into that of the brain. We bloom, we bear the fruits of thespirit and we remain young because we become conscious of things that otherwise wouldrequire many, many years to have revealed to us.

Today knowledge of the glands has become universal and scientific giants realize theinestimable value of this great revelation.

Hopes and visions are at last fulfilled and what once seemed to be available only to a privilegedfew has become an inheritance and a birthright to all.

Summary

(1) The glandular system is our source of supply for better living.

(2) The first step to feeling better is to relieve the glands of unnecessary weight.

(3) Our level, of intelligence grows with the development of the glandular system.

(4) The key to the treasure house of being is found in our glandular system.

(5) The discipline of regularly scheduled body movements can change your life.

Chapter Two

IF YOUR GLANDS COULD ONLY TALK

"If ye had faith," the Savior said, "to the size of a mustard seed, ye would have power to movemountains."

Translated, this means mountains of sickness, of sorrow, of poverty --- mountains of everything.If we had faith to the size of a mustard seed we would be able to remove all obstacles and thisincludes everything and anything, for faith is not a belief; faith is not a creed; faith is not aconfession, a denomination.

As the scriptures define it : "Faith is confidence and assurance in substance unseen."

13

It is revealed in its own due time and season --- therefore based upon principle and law, natural,universal, infinite design : that is faith, confidence, assurance in substance unseen. Substance isthat which has reality, exists; that is why we say " sum and substance " --- that which is real.We have faith, confidence assurance in things real, absolute, and it will come to us if we will butapply ourselves. Faith will come to us in its own due time and season.

All of us the world over, who are confident in the success of all our undertakings, still happen tohave the thymus active --- at least to the degree that we will succeed in our endeavors, while allthose who, in spite of all their knowledge and understanding are failures. It is because we havenot sustained our thymus gland.

What shall we do about it ?

Simply arouse the thymus region; relieve the system of any unnecessary pressure; follow thescientific diet, for we must assist in every possible way and manner, if we desire to succeed inall things. Pound, as it were, rub, squeeze, rotate; use every available means in bringing yourglands back into full operation The rest will follow naturally, for nature is ever ready to adjustherself, if we will only give her an opportunity.

We still need to pay more attention to our glandular system. We are often prompted, indeed, weare prompted by virtue of the leucocytos or small white disease destroying blood cells in ourcirculatory system. We become enthused. This is the result of the activity on the part of ourleucocytos. We are thrown into ecstacy by virtue of increased vibration of our nervous system --- so great an ecstacy that it seems we have reached illumination.

We are now prompted by the higher self to do things, and we do them only to realize that afterall there is something lacking. We even say " it is wrong." We should not say that. The reasonwe do is because our glandular system is not sufficiently operative, for where it is at work, thereis no wrong, which means to say, that, "if my progress is not to be deferred, then I must find thepath to final emancipation."

We are now here on this earth in the expectation of finding full solutions to all of life'sproblems. We are here where we should be to come to an understanding. But suppose we donot come to an understanding ? Suppose we just live for the day --- then " What man soweth ---that he shall reap."

That is all, an that is enough. Further explanations are not necessary. We know what we areabout. All of our struggles avails us nothing. All the trials, sorrows and tribulations we undergoavail us nothing. All the sacrifice and the denials we brought, avail us nothing. All these achesand pains, that did not heal, did not ease up anywhere, did not make us any better.

It is wonderful, when we come to think about it, that in looking at this body mechanism of oursthrough a microscope --- though it takes 1,265,000 degrees of magnification to see it work ---and what do we see at that rate of lense power ?

We see that every cell in the body stands by itself; there is no such thing as interlinking; there isno such thing as adhesive cell to cell. Between each and every cell, surrounding the cell andpenetrating each and every cell is the ethereal substance. It is the ether, and this ether will notallow a cell to join another cell. Each cell works independently of another cell; though theremay be close relation, there is no contact.

Each now works relatively. They work towards a certain part and collectively, as in an organlike the stomach. The cells and tissues of the stomach work collectively --- nevertheless eachand every cell performs its particular part that has been assigned to it, and the cell of one part ofthe stomach cannot take the part of another cell in another part that makes up the stomach.

14

Each and everyone of these cells is absolutely individual. Each has its own individual work toperform. It is only by virtue of the consciousness of the soul that they work collectively, moveharmoniously. The cell in one part cannot take up the work of a cell in another part. This wholebody of ours is composed of cells, of tissues, is not joined, not glued together, a hinged ---together body. Therein lies the marvelous, wonderful part, that in the human body, in thehuman frame, the cells stand out separately, kept apart by the continuous flow of ether.

In the clay of our body there is no conscious life, being of a crystallized nature. When wemagnify and remagnify it only 1,250,000 times, we find therein an adhesiveness, an adhesivesubstance that holds all these crystals together; throughout the whole mineral kingdomeverything is held together by an adhesive substance, not ether.

In the mind every cell is held together by a fluid of adhesiveness. This fluid pressed out andboiled will make a most powerful glue. In this human body of ours all cells are separated byvirtue of the continuous circulation of ether. Not until the body is dead and falls into a heap isther no iota of ether left.

That ethereal substance, that soul consciousness known as the individual entity or divine part,disappears.

At first the ether gradually draws away from the right side of the body; therefore the right toes,right foot begins to get cold first. The soul is still in the body, and it starts to move. The ether isbeing contracted and contracted toward the heart. As it reaches the heart region, it then drawsupon the mental sphere, that is, the ether in our brain; it draws that down gradually toward theheart.

That is when we say the individual is already past the state of unconscious. When we observesuch a body already undergoing transition, their eyes no longer recognize us. We are no longerknown because all objects begin to disappear from sight. The important factors, mind, soul,spirit are being withdrawn.

The ether keeps on contracting and the circulatory system now starts cooling down.

With this ether contracted we will say, to get an idea of it, the entity, the divine spark begins tohide itself in the apparent ball-like substance, and we breathe it off. The feeling, owing to thecirculation partly, and partly to the nervous twitching, the soul is still to a degree present, but theunity is gone. We cannot see it, unless we cast a lense upon that process of 2,500,000scintillating action, a 2,500,000 magnification, to see that ball rolling away, floating off intospace.

Glands Are The Key Factor In Our Living Process

Our mind, our soul and spirit, our entity, our divine spark, the infinite is the seed within theglandular system. In the Infinite is contained everything there is, or is to be.

The infinite, so to speak, plants itself in the soil of the universe. And now in making use of thesubstance, atom, ether, evolves into the outer that which is contained within the inner.

That same process is continuous throughout all of creation and creative things. It is continuousbecause of the imprint made, the impression made. And we, being of the same realm or source,beginning, origin, each and every one of us is that Infinite Intelligence, having clothed ourselveswith all the processes, all of that infinite surrounding. We have clothed ourselves in the infinite.We are clothed with the infinite circumference, and in the finite we are clothed with that whichis contained in the infinite space.

That is where we stand as of this moment. Consequently, we continue to study into the subject

15

matter of being, that we may be spiritualized. The Greeks in their day, searched until they couldwrite these lines. They desired to reach Untus. They said, " to be " Untus, to be --- not we are;but that avails us nothing, because we exist. It is " to be " and the " to be " is the " I AM, " therevelation of the " I AM. "

The savior, attempting to make it clear, put it " I and Abba are as one. He who sees me, seesAbba. "

Whomsoever we see, lo and behold, is the reflex same thought and therefore the same. It is therealization; it is the assurance of it all, and a state of realization. Just as maturity depends upongrowth and development, so must our search for fulfillment.

We not only grow physically, we should grow mentally and spiritually. It is all a matter ofincreasing glandular activity.

To grow necessitates the nurturing of the seed of that which we expect. And the result weexpect necessitates a positive growing climate. Mind and body must be prepared in accordanceto the seed to be planted, in accordance to the compounds contained within the seed. We musthave a corresponding mental soil. But if the soil contains all of the ingredients, chemicalcompounds and substances conducive to any kind of growth, then, of course, we can sow anykind of seed; but even that seed has to be selected.

We must know something about the quality and purpose of the seed we have planted. All thesegrowths we are fostering will avail us nothing unless we add the quality of persistence as soonas we realize that should a vagrant wind of chance intrude our growth, it is of no lasting quality.

And so it is with all the ideas we gather here and there. We collect them, pile them up in ourbrain, and every time something occurs or happens to us, we are confused. We must be wellfounded in our determination.

In all learning, elementary education comes first. We have to know and understand theelementaries appertaining to life. We do have to recreate this whole being or ours. Our verycell-life has to be equal to that of the life of the spirit. Every particle of our being has to bespiritualized, has to be illumined. Each and every cell has to stand out individually. There canbe no leaning of one part on another.

There is no use learning about the glandular system, unless we are interested in the subject. Ourobject should be to restore the glandular system. We have to start at the first rung of the ladder.Little by little, we learn to get control of our physical body.

Some of us are born venturesome, but few are born with the glandular system so far developedas to remove all need to grow so that we can go through life with absolute certainty. Most of ushave to train ourselves, to educate ourselves and find the way by which we can best use theglandular system which is our natural heritage.

Say to yourself, " I must learn to know that as a manifested being I am three-fold. I am triune.Just as there is vastness of space, as there is maximum of space, there is its opposite --- theminimum of space, and I, the intervening factor, the third, independent and free from either,using one and both to gain my infinite ends, in which case I have to use consideration. I have tobe thoughtful. I have to be reasonable. I must be just, for in dealing with others I deal with thatwhich is of myself. "

What would we think of an artist, who has spent months mixing his paints, applying them to thecanvas, because as an artist he desires that his product inspire life ? We speak not of the dauberbut of the artist.

It takes months, even years to accomplish his work. He cannot paint continuously. He can put

16

on a certain color and then wait for days until the different shades and tints have mixed andmingled with that color. Then he paints it all over again with the same color or another, andagain he has to wait until the blending takes place. And lo and behold he brushes it over again --- at least seven times before the life proper appears in those colorings.

Now he carries out his theme, his subject, and every day, every few days as the case may be ---it depends upon what he is going to produce --- he again puts a few strokes here and there, untilat last, after much painful labor and effort he studies his theme and subject as he applies hiscolors upon the canvas. He knows what he is about, but nevertheless to approach that which isin his mind, he must study the material he works with --- and at last he is finished !

And when it is finished, do you suppose he is really through with it ? No, he views his workfrom every possible angle --- first one distance, then another. At one time by day, then underthe light, the electric light, lamplight, gas light or candle light, he keeps on viewing it. Not untilhe is satisfied that it is beyond all criticism is he satisfied that his picture is ready to exhibit.

We should want to apply this same principle to ourselves. Do you suppose for one moment thatInfinite Intelligence, after having created unto himself this human tabernacle which is you withall the endowments, attributes, gifts and talents, which he has exercised throughout the whole ofinfinite space, now that he has accomplished it, does not consider it the most perfectaccomplishment ?

Why should you ruin it with an unwise way of life ?

There is a comparison between ourselves and that little seed we put into the ground. As it grows,its growth reveals that the elements, the substance, the ingredients which existed were from apattern in that seed. The cellular life and cellular accumulations, or expansions and consequentlymultiplication of powers, is unveiled and contained in the seed.

Where does this potential come from ?

It comes from Infinite Intelligence. Well then, why would we not be able without that seed tocreate life unto ourselves ? Why do we not draw life out of the air, the water, the soil ?

We know that it takes the seed, and in that seed is contained the sum and substance of the plantto be. The growth unfolds the inner chambers, and these developments reveal to us a state thateventually matures and bears the fruit of the spirit. The fruit of the intelligence is contained inthat seed.

Just the same as the seed put into the proper soil grows, comes to consciousness, to itsrealization of its inherent possibilities, so do we. It is through the process of realization of itstremendous capabilities, and action on its part that reveals whatever lies hidden within itself.AND SO WITH US !

WE USE PRINCIPLE AND LAW

We become active in accordance to principle and law which is established throughout nature.The infinite space and nature of infinite intelligence comes to our rescue. It simply exercisesitself and becomes manifest. It does not chase around through space collecting an atom hereand an atom there and pushing us together as life. Nothing of the kind ! It directs thesurrounding to present itself in its predestined presence.

All the worlds in space are created without the infinite intelligence ever moving out of itsposition an iota. It reduces circumference to a minimum of its being, and this process ofreduction is gradual, and the continuity of this process of reduction eventually calls forth whatwe call planets or worlds or planetary systems.

17

These phases of growth call for adjustments on the part of this mechanism of ours, this body ofours, which with its component parts, is the result of many creations and evolutions. We mustnever forget the dual aspect in the phenomenal, the two great extremes. First, reduction of theatomic and ethereal spaces or worlds, then each and every world revealing the modus operandiof the creative energy, revealing its surface beyond the surface of the radius of its own being ornature.

First reduction, then expansion, because all growth, whether it be that of a crystallizationprocess, whether it be plant or animal, it is the process of expansion.

For what is a tree ? A tree is the result of expansion of the seed, is it not ? And what is ananimal ? It is an expansion of the nucleus. And the human body, the human form is the same.It is all expansion of the germ that constitutes, that creates, that makes and surrounds itself withthe nucleus. What we call growth is expansion of that germ within the seed.

Therefore, it is a case of conscious development. Everything is a matter of growth anddevelopment. To the extent that we follow law and principle, to that extent we advance andreach a better understanding of all the various phases that will be revealed unto us, one step afteranother.

Can we not hasten things ? If we do, remember we are only too liable to interfere with designs,and if we do that, we have to take the consequences, we have to pay for it. We either becomeunbalanced mentally or we become visited with all kinds of physical ailments or invite troubles.Then we have a difficult time to gain the means required to reach our goals.

We always have a free choice to do just as we wish. We can do anything and everything. Butinsofar as it is not within the designs, it is not in accordance to principle and harmony with fixedlaws, terrestrial, celestial, universal, we are running a great deal of risk. The whole world istaking chances right along, and therefore nothing is accomplished. We do not gain our points.

As the Savior said, we are not here merely to think and talk about eating and drinking. That isthe least consideration, not the important one. The important mission in this life is to realizeone's capabilities. To realize what we are really here for, consequently where did we come from,and where are we drifting unless we implement the power of will.

The key is within ourselves. We must heed the plea of our glands. However, most of theseglandular exercises will avail us nothing if we have not received our preliminary instructions. Ifwe have not developed a greater state of receptiveness, the exercises will avail us nothing. Wewill need to be conscious of the ethereal substance that passes around each and every cell, andthen through the cell.

Everything causing weight and pressure has to be set aside so that there will be a consciousmotion on the part of this cellular body.

Think of the power that is inherent in each and every one of the cells of our body ! Think of thepower in each and every tissue ! If we would know or could find a way unto divisibility of ourbeing, would it not be tremendous ?

But there is principle, and consequently there is law. And according to that law everything thatis living must come up to that principle. We are not here for destructive purposes, but for thepurpose of continuing in the process of creation, of evolution, and consequently destined forperfection.

All the powers and forces we seek are already in us, but we need to control them. We mustdirect them in accordance to fixed laws. It is for this purpose that we need a state of awakening.We must become conscious.

18

We are now preparing for that particular part. Why not before ? Because we were not that faradvanced. You are not going to take up classics before you can read. You are not going to playclassical music before you have learned your fingering exercises. You are not going to graduatebefore you go to school. And you will not reach the mountain tops of growth and unfoldmentbefore you can perform according to principle.

Summary

(1) You must have faith in the principle of growth.

(2) We must pay attention to and practice body movements that will stimulate glandularactivity.

(3) We know that each body cell is absolutley individual.

(4) We know that our glands are the key factor in our living process.

(5) We must think as a great master artist in creating, sustaining and energizing body, mindand spirit.

Chapter Three

THE PITUITARY GLAND

OUR FIRST STEP TO PHYSICAL AND MENTAL MATURITY

The pituitary gland is a lump of tissues at the base of the brain and a short distance behind theroot of the nose.

It facilitates the consumption of energy. It is a gland that tends to promote continued effort onour part. The pituitary gland controls perception and reveals our thinking. It increases ourcapabilities. It also affects the bone structure with its marrow; it affects the end of the hair,determining the electric and magnetic fluidum. Therefore, for the proper development of themind and the body the correct functioning of this gland is most important.

Exercises calculated to awaken the pituitary gland to a greater degree of operation shouldrequire your undivided attention. We should allow ourselves time each day for tongue exercise.We should swing our head in perfect rhythm to melodies that appeal to our temperament.Dismiss all else from the mind; forget your surroundings. Let us think simply of the pituitary,that ductless gland, a mass of substance, full of elements turning ethereal which help direct usinto channels destined to disclose to us intelligences heretofore unknown.

What was once expected in faith, we may now experience as reality. " What eyes have neverseen, ears have never heard and heretofore not entered the human mind, shall be revealed untoyou. "

The pituitary gland is about the size of a pea. It is the gland of energy, pep, transmitting untothe mind processes of great vitality. It also controls the bony structure of the body. It is the bestprotected of all our glands and can only be reached by x-rays. It commands a well protectedposition. Its activity persists throughout life. Its abundant blood supply make it a veryimportant gland.

19

Most mental defectives have undeveloped pituitary glands. It has for its purpose the charging ofthe basic brain, therefore the perceptives. It reveals the way to happiness and success in life,aiding one to see more clearly how to attain success in one's undertaking, opening the way tochannels for the expression of talents, gifts, forces and powers.

Belief or no belief, faith or no faith; when the pituitary charges the receptive groups of braincells, the eyes become bright and one remembers that " I shall be a light unto thy feet. "

The development of the pituitary and the thymus is vitally important. Consistent bodymovements are of inestimable value to the pituitary gland. A diet of fruits, vegetables andgrains are of great value. You must have a clear throat and clear nasal passages so as toeffectively touch up this gland in order to have clearness and brightness in the basic part of thebrain.

Put everything to a test. Reason does not come through asking, reason is due to mentalunfoldment.

The pituitary gland controls the basic part of the brain, therefore not our intellectual, moral,ethical, spiritual propensities. Spiritual and intellectual developments are the result of growthand unfoldment. To enjoy perception we must be observant, we must necessarily first knowwhat induces, what prompts, what controls and directs these perceptives that are locatedbetween the eye-brows.

All those cells, that gray matter between the eyebrows within the center of the perceptivesdetermine our foresight and consequently our ability to perceive and eventually comprehend,understand, grasp and realize. Accordingly we become empowered to reach correct conclusions.

When our judgments are not based upon principle and law, then our perceptives are notsufficiently under control. All the misunderstanding in the world is the consequence.

First we need to develop our perceptives and for this reason we are endowed with the operationof the pituitary gland.

Centered Between The Eyebrows

In the process of evolution where the creature grows into the consciousness of sight, or the sensestate, and is to be empowered with the sense condition, that creature or animal first gathers thegray matter between the eyebrows.

For instance, the fish. All the movements of the fish, the operations, thinking powers andpowers of application seeking food and protection, are centered between the eye-brows. Fromthere the gray matter begins to increase. One brain cell becomes added to another until in thehigher animal all the basic properties and propensities are established.

As soon as the basic part of the head receives this gray matter, then these material propensitiesbegin to spread at the back of the head and from there gradually rise to the moral, ethical andspiritual part of the brain. The higher the development of the animal, the higher the propertiesand propensities.

Of course, the human concept is gauged by conditions, environments, localization and inheritedtendencies. One should always accept this as standard. So long as the idea of standardization isapplied to our dally life, we will always walk in the right path and the realm of absolute safety,free from all negative suggestions.

20

The pituitary gland, lying at the base of the brain spreads throughout the whole or the basic partand gradually connects through all sorts of interpolations with the adrenals. These are the safetyvalves of the kidneys. From there gradually the system spreads, until we find it linking andinterlinking with the thymus --- and it reaches out by degrees to the thyroids, and once againthey join with the pituitary.

First Gland To Assert Itself

The pituitary gland is the first to develop and assert itself. It should be accompanied by a fullysustained thymus. To the extent that the thymus takes the lead, to that extent do we develop ahappy and joyous disposition. This is especially true if, in addition to the thymus, we enjoy acertain part of our ethical or moral propensities, then by virtue of reflexes on the part of thebrain and the glands, we are led, directed and compelled by what we call " an unseen power. "Some people go through life without any trouble or accidents and always strike the momentumof a happy medium.

The pituitary gland controls and reveals our thinking and our capabilities. It is also the glandwhich controls and reveals the five senses in their elementary stages. With further developmentof all the related members of the pituitary, the senses grow stronger and develop along parallellines in the mental as well as a corresponding response to the organic part of our nature.

Without the pituitary being in full operation we have no understanding, no reasoning power.Unless the thymus is in working order we have a hard struggle to restore the gonoids or anyother gland. Unless we possess perception and a sense of sublimity, unless we have reverencefor ourselves and are morally balanced, we can never solve our problems.

The pituitary gland is most needed in these strenuous days of great demands and spiraling costs.We need greater power to cope, to reason and comprehend and above all things --- greaterknowledge of application. The less the pituitary system is under control and development, theless is our power of application in our pursuit of accomplishment.

Persons who are sub-pituitary are those who suffer from insufficient secretions from thisimportant gland. Their thinking is voluminous but inconsistent, self-satisfied, yet very critical.They are venomous and set, as a rule, and have a protruding abdomen and tend to beoverweight. They suffer from that tired feeling most of the time, with a strong inclination tofind fault with all they know.

The hyper-pituitary persons are those of strong features, heavy eyebrows and strong sinews andmuscles. In thought they are somewhat executive, commandeering, pioneering, with ideas alltheir own. At times they are ahead of things and in other respects old-fashioned. They canreconcile their ideas with the three men in the fiery furnace without getting their hair singed.They often run to extremes. They are usually subject to every known ailment.

You should therefore attend to the quickening of the functions of the pituitary and with each dayenjoy greater mental powers.

To help with this awakening roll the head upon its axis, roll it with ease from right to left adozen times a day. The pituitary is first stimulated through the flexibility of the neck.

The pituitary gland controls the salivary glands and with it the water fluids of the kidneys andthe bladder in general. But it performs a function which is much more farther reaching, itcharges the faculty of perception and the corresponding faculties of basic origin. With the powerof perception under our control we readily find the means that reinforce and expand our talentsand gifts.

After we are through with our head rolling exercise, the next thing is to activate the power of

21

breath. Should we find anywhere a slight soreness --- that is the part to be treated and to bemanipulated. We run our fingertips right down the neck, rolling and squeezing and pinching, ifnecessary, right after the exercise. That is the best time to get at the sore spots --- pressingespecially at the atlas region, pressing, rolling, rubbing, until you get past the ears. And if youfind here and there a cord still a little sore, you want to rub it out. You do not want to let it gobut attend to it after every exercise --- because we must have freedom of the atlas.

We want to attend to our neck, in order to loosen up the tissues and muscles, so that we cancarry our head with perfect ease for the sake of keeping in operation the pituitary gland and theglandular system.

Vibrational Center Of Operation

Every system must have a vibrational center of operation, a point from which vibrations extendand by which vibrations are being conducted. We simply say the pituitary gland, but it is reallya whole system of emanating glands connecting each and every brain cell of this basic brain.

If we were to roll the head for a whole ten minutes, we would experience a throbbing sensation.Normally, it takes about ten minutes to arouse this force. Not until we have had a foretaste ofcertain mental developments does it dawn upon us of what inestimable value the basic brain isto us. Upon it is based our intellect with its talents and gifts.

All of these gifts and talents are based upon perception --- that means the whole of the basicbrain. And as the whole of the basic brain reaches the point of self-preservation, then all suchtalents and endowments of a spiritual, ethical or moral nature begin to unfold and develop byvirtue of additional action on the part of the thymus --- not thyroids but thymus. These twofactors --- perception and self-preservation are the two principle factors in nature.

First, we need more action on the part of the basic brain. For this reason we want to loosen upall such parts of our anatomical side that are in direct connection and related to the pituitary-glandular system.

We want to relieve ourselves of every possible tension. We want to be able to sendthoughtwaves through the basic part of the brain and from there, in accordance to our talents, toawaken these gifts and through the prompting thereof to guide and direct us.

Do not forget the tongue exercise and the manipulations. Have you ever noticed that at times (not in company, we hope ) you have had the desire to clasp your hands behind your head ?This is a good exercise. We do want to throw our head as far back as we can and rest it in thehands, and then once in a while to bear down the head as far as possible in front. With the chinon the chest --- sing. Now note a peculiar sensation. We need more of those little sensations.

We start gently and then put in more and more force to loosen up. Loosen up until it seems thatthe teeth, everything in the body is loose.

Should this movement make you hot, do not worry. You are being magnetized. You arestronger and that electrifies and magnetizes you.

We are doing the exercises in a scientific manner, with understanding. Our mind and thoughtalways centralizes upon what we are doing for ourselves. It does not take any special time, justa few minutes in the morning or whenever you find a few minutes of leisure.

As far as the humming is concerned, we can do that at any time, in the home, office, or walkingdown the street, humming lightly. Humming is one thing that is acceptable and enjoyable toourselves and often to others.

22

Use The " Loose " Key Always

We should feel the pulsations of our pituitary gland. We should feel a pulsation towards theregion of the palate where the pituitary gland lies as a central gland. From that central gland arethe extensions reaching out and connecting every cell of this brain of ours. We should want topractice all the exercises calculated to make the pituitary gland more operative.

In order to do so, we must have a very loose neck. The neck must be loose without forcing,without any tension --- that is the key. When we throw the neck around we do not force it. It isby virtue of the will and determination of the mind that the neck just rolls back and forth.

The purpose is to break up all those calcareous deposits --- if any. Even if none are involved,keep on with the loosening movements. The more we loosen up and roll the head around, thebetter.

You will want to be able to easily touch the chest with the chin. We are often more free to dothis exercise before retiring at night.

When practicing exercises, especially that of touching the chest with the chin, remember thatforcing will not be beneficial. You must be perfectly loose and relaxed as if you did not carewhether the head moved or not. The correct attitude is not to care, but to affirm. For example, Idon't care about one thing or another, but I am determined to see that my goals, my longings, aresatisfied and will materialize.

The more we think straight, the more we maintain an objective, material and terrestrial line ofthought. As you begin to think now and have though during these few minutes don't you feel asif there were a band around your head, as if there was a narrow ribbon all around it beingtightened ? That is but natural. It seems as if the more we follow one trend of thought the cellsare drawing together and made tighter. Concentrate consequently all of those brain cells withthe pituitary gland and the mind in the epiphysis, concentrate it towards one realm, one wave,one focusing point. We notice then that tightening which means to say that the cells arebeginning to vibrate. The pituitary gland is throwing an extra flow towards those cells, sprayingthen as the vital sprays of substance. It is this spraying process that regenerates our body.

Try and visualize your pituitary gland. Draw a picture of it on a piece of paper so as to impressit more on your mind. Now you can see at last how it radiates, raises and encircles the whole ofthe physical brain. Nover lose sight of this perceptive point. It is like holding the reins on wildhorses.

Continue to practice the loosening up exercises. Roll your head around. Then take all theshoulder exercises. All you need do is to put the idea into practice. Then you can invent newpowers as it were. Naturally you invent in accordance with your individual nature. Of courseremember, you never use force. Always exercise in a perfectly relaxed state. That will loosenup all those cords, ligaments and muscles that are in connection with the pituitary gland.

Roll you tongue as if you were about to swallow it. That creates saliva, which is what we wantto do, because the more saliva we create without using artificial means, the better it is for us. Inchewing gum we also create saliva but that is forcing it. Rolling the tongue without a medicationis a natural process, therefore lubricants will form. The more lubricants that are formednaturally, the more physical substance is being created. It is not only being lubricated, but theethereal substance which is created will be distributed throughout all the basic brain. As we goon we will see that it is not only the basic brain, but the pituitary gland that is eventuallyconnected with the thyroid, the thymus, the adrenals, gonoids and all other glandular systems.

All glandular systems have their corresponding gland within one or the other side of the brain.Although every gland system operating within our human constitution is of inestimable value in

23

the development and unfoldment of our mental factors, the pituitary gland needs to be morefully considered. This is true because of its location as a center right at the base of the brain.From there, all of the basic brain factors are controlled.

To the extent that there is the proper rate of vibration we will enjoy the full operation of all ofour faculties. Here the blood vessels and ganglia empty their fluids into the gray matter andthrough volatile and ethereal distillations quicken the cells to renewed operations, connectingthe cosmic rays to the extent related and in correspondence with your level of consciousness atthe time.

Modern research is just awakening to the facts known to ancient sages who made the brain oneof their most inexhaustible studies. For they realized that in the brain were to be found the keysunlocking the storehouse of infinite knowledge.

Summary

(1) The pituitary gland sustains us in all of our physical and intellectual efforts.

(2) When we lack in perceptive qualities it is because our pituitary glands areunderdeveloped.

(3) Growth and unfoldment are only possible when the thymus and pituitary glands aresustained by correct body movements.

(4) Vibration is a necessary part of all glandular activity regardless of whether it is inducedby mental or mechanical means.

(5) All of our glandular systems have a corresponding gland within one or the other side ofthe brain.

Chapter Four

THE THYMUS

NURTURING GLAND OF THE HEART

The thymus is a glandular body or ductless gland of uncertain function which is found invertebrate animals. It is located in the thorax near the base of the neck in man.

The big problem is that it becomes vestigial in the adult. That is, it tends to degenerate or growimperfect when a person approaches middle age. As a developed organ or structure it has littleor no utility according to biologists. However, in an earlier stage of the individual or in preced-ing organisms it is claimed to have performed a useful function. In truth we know this need notbe fact.

When verity prevails we will know that all heart culture depends upon the thymus gland. Wherethere is faith, assurance, confidence, certainty, freedom from doubt and fear --- where there isstamina, determination, there is understanding. All understanding is dependent upon the degreeof development of the thymus.

All understanding, no matter what the talents, gifts, endowments, depends upon the thymusgland for further application. The attributes depend upon the moral, ethical and spiritual

24

properties. And these great factors developed assure a perfect life, for they control all gifts andtalents.

We should learn (see exercise chart) to exercise the upper part of the body --- particularly thechest and upper arms. Our purpose is to recharge the thymus gland, which otherwise mightdeteriorate. When the thymus is not functioning properly, we entertain negative ideas of fear,calamity or frustration.

The song, God Is Love, (see Mazdaznan Hymnal) is used to bring the thymus gland intovibration. We cannot help but feel it in the upper part of the chest, when singing a melody inthis particular key and tune. What is the object of vibrating and developing the thymus ? Toinstill implicit confidence, further assurance, the child-like consciousness of everything good,knowing that our needs will be fully supplied.

The thymus gland ascends towards the back of the brain, running along the fifth and sixthnerves, connecting our eyes, ears, and nose. It is the thymus which when in operation gives onehopefulness, faith, confidence, assurance. Eventually we are able to normalize ourselves.

In most of us the thymus gland dies, becomes dormant, shrivels up due to our imperfect way oflife. Our implicit faith is taken from us and dogmas, creeds, contrary to our reasoning power arethrown upon us. Soon we accept them, for we have lost our assurance.

Eventually we accept these negative ideas as truth. While we are growing up we are able tocombat these conditions and environments, following the first law in nature, that of self-preservation. The animal, physical propensities, assert themselves and our talents, gifts,endowments and attributes go to make up for the comforts so necessary to our way of life.

Should we permit these conditions to prevail eventually all we know is work, labor, scheming tojust keep the body and soul together. All we will think of is to hoard up something for a rainyday. And then sure enough, that rainy day will come ! Greed will then take over.

When you see a person getting away from principle, then you know the thymus is dying. Aperson with large physical propensities and properties is partly controlled by the pituitary gland.Though he may be an intellectual giant, nevertheless, when there is thoughtlessness, or evencriminality, using psychological measures to hypnotize himself to the fact that he is entitled tothe things he wants, regardless of ownership. The spiritual propensities, the ethical and moralside is entirely lacking and has to remain lacking as long as that thymus is in a shriveledcondition.

A human being is only complete when on parallel lines with truth and correspondingly the brainand the glandular system harmonize. But let the glandular system separate itself from the brainand the individual cannot advance any further than his usual academic studies. On leaving theacademy he is then to the world a finished product. All he can refer to is to what he hasmemorized during his days of formal education.

The person without an education fares no better for his experiences are of no value. Those whosucceed in this world are of that happy disposition because of the blending between the brainand the glands. Although they may possess but one or few talents, these people go through lifewithout worrying because of that happy blending --- one side of their make-up always sustainingthe other. There is a balance, an equilibrium. When interference sets in, then the glandularsystem is imposed upon and compelled to separate itself and be confined to its own realm --- tobe separated from the brain. Then all those different phases of illusion and delusion set in andinstead of returning to first principle, we ask " Why am I sick ? " The reason is simple.

25

Faith Is A Confidence

When examining these bodies posthumously we find that the thymus is dead, shriveled up. Theorgan is there, even up to the eye, ear and nose, but it does not vibrate. The brain has nocorrespondence and cannot weigh matters pro and con. It simply jumps to conclusions throughlacking powers of deduction and reason. The individual, lacking reason, simply jumps from onething to another. All because the thymus has ceased to function.

In order to revive the thymus the chest must be pounded. All of us who still have faith and areconfident of the success of their undertakings have the thymus or part of it still working. Wehave faith. Faith is not a belief, not a confession, not a demonination. It is as the Scripturesdefine it :

" Faith is confidence and assurance in substance unseen. " This substance unseen is to berevealed in its own time and season, based upon principle and law which is natural anduniversal. That is faith. Faith is confidence, assurance, in substance unseen. Faith is substanceunseen.

This substance unseen is to be revealed in its own time and season based upon principle andlaw. Substance is that which has reality and existence. That is why we say sum and substance --- summa summarus --- that which is real. We have faith, confidence in things real and absoluteand they will come to us because we apply ourselves. This faith will come to us in its own duetime and season.

What must I do ? Simply arouse the thymus region. Relieve the system of unnecessary pressure.Follow a scientific diet. Pound, squeeze, rub, rotate, use every available means to bring thethymus back to full operation. The renewal will come to you. Nature is anxious to takeadvantage when given the opportunity. Keep in mind the exercise for the thymus : Hit the upperpart of the chest, gently, then harder and harder without causing pain, doing it with a relaxedwrist. This can be done in bed, in the morning, or when we have nothing else to do.

The thymus gland is a gland that can be awakened only through vibration, manipulation,massage, rotation and pounding. Through these movements it can be revived. Rotation iswhere we vibrate in a circular motion with the finger tips. Revival of the thymus is not oftenaccomplished in a day or a month. If we accomplish this in nine months we are very fortunate.

The question is : Will we be fair enough to ourselves to do these exercises ? when the operationof the thymus is normal there is no such thing as becoming discouraged. Everybody around usmay be so, but we cannot. You understand the condition of the others. Their thymus is dead,shriveled up, not operative. It is worth your while to bring your thymus into full operation

Realize that the thymus is one of the most important factors in this material existence. It fits usfor everything. In seeing what others do, we know that we can do that too.

While he who lacks this gland or has it only partially developed can apply himself only in partfor he will encounter many difficulties. It makes life hard and that is why we have so muchdiscouragement, dissatisfaction and fault-finding. The more we find fault, the more we realizethat we lack the thymus. Everything irritates us. Everything is wrong no matter how right it is.The idea of wrong becomes our way of judging. From that standpoint we judge everything. Theprinciple is wrong --- and then we talk about righteousness !

It certainly shows that the part of the nervous system which comes under the surface of thethymus is not supported nor upheld in its ganglionic operations. These ganglia, instead ofdistributing are of a vibratory nature. They run like a whirlpool, around and around, and ofcourse that makes one nervous, excited, and this wears on the system. They should vibrate inlines. It is not going to kill us. Persons having a ganglia that does not distribute may live to be100 years or more, but think, of the trouble they undergo and the trials and sorrows that reach

26

the very heart.

By and through manipulations and correct body movements, the thymus can be restored anddeveloped. By degrees it can be revived. Most of us have been at revivals and have been stirredto action while there. The singing, the continuity of singing increased the circulation while theexcitement of the calling for commitment appealed to our emotion of faith, and that will stireven a dead thymus.

At times like these the revibrating on the part of the thymus gets to the very heart and you areready to be converted; That is the reconverting of gland fluids in the system can take place ---consequently a change of mind, a degree of subjection and giving up. It creates happiness andjoy. It may not be lasting but it proves that the thymus, when working, prevents one fromentertaining any negative feelings.

With the thymus overworking, one wishes to throw one's arms around everybody. That is theconverting spirit, the reviving. It is correct to revive, regenerate, rejuvenate. Unfortunately withsome, the spirit of the revival lasts for three days and then IT IS GONE FOR GOOD. It is like theflaring of a dying flame. It seems to go out for there is no substance to feed it.

You hear people say, " I have longed again and again for that moment. I do not know what itwas but I do not succeed. Others have the experience I had, but to me it never comes again. "

Everyone of us has had at least one such experience in a lifetime but we did not look into thematter sufficiently. We tend to remain in our state of suspension. That is the only thing thatcontinues in our memory.

To perpetuate our regeneration we must have the means unto growth. We have asked ourselvesif the fluids and substances referred to must be lodged somewhere in our being If we onlycould keep them we would be able to perpetuate that same state and all the states that go tomake life full of joy and happiness. We should sing more, especially early in the morning. Theevening is not so beneficial. In fact, if all the exercises could be crowded into the morning, thenwe will be ready to face the day --- even far into the night. The earlier we arise the more we canaccomplish.

The thymus is of great importance. With the loss of its operation we lose faith and assurance.In many cases, when growing in years, we think that certain ideas necessary should not beentertained. we are too big for that which in essence means that we are too poor mentally andphysically.

For example, in ordinary love affairs between individuals, love gradually lessens becauseconfidence then has not continued to grow. That is why, losing faith in each other, affection andlove disappears and only passion remains. An attempt at tyranny takes place. The reason for itis that the thymus in one or the other has collapsed. Why should that happen ? Because ofoverindulgence, or not using measures of indulgence in one or more facets of living.

We Can Judge Development

The study of the glands is of inestimable value to each and everyone of us. We should be ableto tell the degree of the development of others and judge ourselves accordingly. In that way weare able to achieve a greater harmony. Even in an advanced state of consciousness we need tobe cautious and considerate. Why ? Because all of us have brought a certain degree of left-overbeliefs from our past experiences.

As Omar and Ainyahita said : " We have allowed the dross to follow us. "

We have advanced and are advancing rapidly but we allow the negative to come along with us

27

so that whenever we are about to reach a certain point of growth, we suddenly feel ourselvesfalling. At the same time we are conscious of things to be attained. We know and comprehendbut cannot make use of it, for we do not dare.

The song, Just As I Am, conveys a depth of thought. I come just as I am, as I am in reality, as Iam in a state of consciousness and realization. That is the way I come, free from everything.

The thymus gland does not touch or enliven the membranes. It does not weigh matters or havethe qualities of consideration or the power of deduction. That is not its office, its work. Thethymus should stimulate everything in the area of tenacity, or love for material things. Theseare necessary to up-hold the individual, creating a happy mood or disposition.

There must be no weight on any one of the glands. The body must be free from all adhesions.To help adjust any unfortunate condition, we should always keep an upright position; chest wallup, for back of the chest wall lies the thymus gland which, when in operation, gives us thatconfidence and assurance so necessary in all our undertakings.

At least four times a day we should take a three minute breathing exercise, consisting of longexhalations --- twice to six times as long as the inhalation, so as to breathe off carbons. Themore carbons we breathe out, the more readily the blood circulates and it is the increase incirculation that warms us, while if we tense, we are conscious of cold and the icy feeling to anypart of the body. This is particularly true of the hands and feet. Tension holds back the carbons.

Those persons in a hyper-thymus condition (and this is possible) never reach old age unlessother glandular functions are developed. To help offset this condition, males should becircumcised and females dehymenated.

Once again, the thymus is a gland that can be awakened through vibration. In most persons thethymus is the first one of all the glands to dry up. It is only vibratory motion, manipulation,massage, rotation that will keep it alive.

To rotate, we take the fingertips and vibrate in a circular motion. Also we can rub and hit, orrub and massage. These are methods to bring the thymus back to life. It cannot be done in a dayor a month. The time to begin is now.

We must bear in mind that Whatever we seek we are not going to find in the objective for theobjective is already centered, concentrated. We do not want to be seeking, searching, analyzing,but recognizing. To have that sense of recognition we need to know what we are. To be able toanswer those questions we must be able to know whence, how, the object and purpose of things.

For example, here are the various parts; the keyboard, there is the case, the string of the piano,the sounding board, the manners, everything --- but you will assemble the parts.

We have no piano; until all the component parts are assembled is it a piano. Even though it is apiano, it still is valueless as long as it is not properly tuned. It may be the very best yet it has notbeen tuned up to the required musical scale.

When we have gone so far as to assemble the component parts, and tune up, there are still thingswe have not done. Things which we have left undone. And yet with it all, with all theassembling and all the tuning, we lack the presence of the virtuoso. Who is it all for ? Whosewill it be ? For whom is the musical instrument built ? For him who plays, for the virtuoso,that great musician --- God, the Infinite Intelligence.

That infinite virtuoso, that great musician has built that musical instrument, that perfectinstrument, that human frame. He had it built and tuned up and it is he who now plays upon it.It is we who should play this instrument, this human frame, the most perfect of all instruments.

28

We Must Take Action

We cannot just fold our hands serenely and wait. The Savior said, when His parents reprovedHim, " Must I not be about my Father's business ? " Must I not seek company where I have anopportunity to express myself ? Must I not seek company, where even though I may not beappreciated, not recognized, nevertheless I must have an opportunity ?

We are able to make our deductions and conclusions from that biography. From thatbiographical sketch we are to draw our own sketches. Yes, we must be there where we can beabout our Father's business. The parents, good as they were, still believed in visiting around.They forgot their duty and responsibility. Their son, however, is going to be busy in the templeamong doctors of learning. That is where we all belong. We belong where we can make use ofour gifts and talents. We are to apply that now to the individual self.

These component parts of ours have no business to be playing around aimlessly and forgettingour great responsibility in life. We are not to get to that point anymore where we have to belooking for the one who is not there. We look instead to the one that is to be the result of ourconcentration, the one that is inviting, the one that has come in answer to our prayers.

Our desire has been that we be in the sight of God, that we reach the plane of understanding,that we enjoy that heavenly state that assures unto us felicity. Then we want to remember thatinasmuch as the Infinite Intelligence must be and is about its business, we, the rest of us in ourmake-up, must attend to our part to always remain within the presence of the one, that one thatunto us is our goal.

This constitution of ours is the result of universal operations. This universal is born and youbecome reborn.

The more the real object of life dawns upon us, the more we attend to our body needs, and in sodoing prepare ourselves so that our expectations may never be defeated.

It is similar to the preparations we make when planning a journey. We know that time willmake certain demands upon us so we arrange matters. Then when the time comes we are able tosupply our needs. In this way we save ourselves many untold troubles and vexations.

We must continue to be encouraged, to concentrate, to focalize and polarize our being, to makeit fit for enjoying all the revelations that are in store for us.

Summary

(1) Unless the vitally important thymus gland is nurtured with correct body movements, ittends to degenerate as a person approaches middle age.

(2) All understanding depends upon sustaining the activity and power of this essentialgland.

(3) Autopsies reveal that the thymus is dead in persons who have shriveled up mentally andphysically.

(4) To restore the thymus to full operation it is necessary to follow a reasonably balanceddiet and invoke the principles of growth inherent in the glandular exercises.

(5) With the thymus in full operation, the basic concept of " love thy neighbor as thyself "and a whole new world or better living becomes manifest.

Chapter Five

ADRENALS --- THE FIRE-POWER GLANDS

We find the adrenal glands in which the strength center of our body is established, to be closelyconnected with the circulatory and nervous system. Just how essential the adrenals are to ourbody becomes obvious when these glands are removed. The inevitable result is death.

For example, we know that the adrenals react in a most adverse manner to strong feelings ofhate, resentment, or unchecked emotional disturbances.

If a single gland can dominate the life history of an individual, the adrenals can claim thatdistinction. And further, it becomes possible by studying endocrine traits of physique, tounderstand life's reactions, disease tendencies, hereditary history and blood chemistry. Bypursuing our studies it becomes possible to gain an insight into the constitution of anyindividual.

We will assert over and over again that the more we become stirred, the more closely is theheart and mind drawn together and a state of illumination sets in --- calling into realization thegreat possibilities we have in life. With it comes life eternal.

The scientific man is just beginning to realize the vast possibilities of gland awakening. Weneed the elements which empty into the bloodstream, we need the ether that charges the brainand with it gives power to the mind, releasing the crystallized potencies so needful for realhealth and further mental development.

An evangelistic revival wave is a fair illustration of one way to awaken the glands, when and ifscientifically pursued and practised. Wonderful results may be obtained, irrespective of creed orritual. In a glandular awakening questions never arise, as ecstasy determines the level of ourconsciousness and with it the foretaste of a heavenly calling.

The real power of the adrenal glands secretion is established by the fact that adrenalin is injectedinto the heart of a patient who is dying.

The stronger the adrenals grow, and the more elements they produce the more our anatomicalbeing develops, especially our qualities of perception and the sense of small.

Step by step we learn to observe and control our organs, senses and systems and it is evidentthat this will also incite the brain to a greater activity.

In emotionally-healthy persons the adrenals are geared to face up to emergencies and releaseextra supplies of this vital substance into the bloodstream whenever the need is evident.

We are created perfect, but we need to be re-created, that the perfection still hidden in us may beused to greater advantage. We have grown from out of the circulatory system, having learned tounderstand and to know that everything in nature is a duality. Our blood with its white and redcorpuscles is controlled and governed, is directed by elucocytos, the magnetic field. The morethis field expands, can expand, the more we understand the operation of leucocytos --- the moreit asserts itself. Consequently, the control of the circulation becomes normal in accordance tofixed laws. The intelligence contained therein awakens to its own consciousness or realization,and everything is accomplished in accordance with the intelligence that is law, and then law andorder is established in our body.

30

From our studies it is quite evident that the greatest emotional disturbances anyone ever has tobear derive for the most part from his own negative thoughts and beliefs. Remember --- thatwhich we accept becomes our burden.

Each of us has two adrenal glands. In size they are about as big as the end of one's finger. Theadrenals are known as the " glands of combat. " Reason for this comes from the fact that whenwe are in great fear, outraged or confronted with an emergency, the secretion of these glands isstimulated and the high-powered fluids are released into the bloodstream.

The more we understand the operations of the nervous system and its corresponding lines withinthe circulatory system, the more conscious become the organs of the body and consequently thegreater the operation of our bodily organs.

when once we have satisfied the circulatory system and strengthened the nervous system we areto remember and learn to reinforce the glandular system. These alone contain the spiritsubstance and make it possible for us to come to an understanding of the truth. We need to beawakened cellularly; the cells must be animated, charged and re-charged by virtue of theiroperations. And in turn these must be sustained by an active glandular system.

It is an established fact that the office of the glandular system is twofold. To reinforce thefunctions of our body organs and to reinforce brain activity. To uphold the organic constitutionor to further the development of our mind powers. To empty measured amounts of fluids intoour bloodstream or to etherealize the gray matter for greater mental acquisitions.

Unlike the circulatory or nervous system the glands do not respond to treatments or change ofdiet. They are more susceptible to vibrations like music, color or the magic touch of hands wellmagnetized.

Melodies of a soothing, quieting nature, with words most appropriate to the temperament, oftencreates wonderful effects. Put your whole mind and spirit into the melody bearing in mind thatbreath is the life current.

The discovery of the functions of the various glands revealed that these glands not only possessnumerous elements which help to charge the bloodstream, but they develop ether retained bythem for purposes heretofore generally unknown. Serious study revealed that the ethercorresponds to the elements of the brain and together form the life principle. when charging thebrain we quicken the call into operation The intelligence contained therein widens the scope ofunderstanding, and thus increases the storehouse of knowledge. Song, affirmations, and music,together with vibratory exercises are the only means that can arouse the glands to a point ofliberating the substance contained in them and so carry it to the brain.

When you are afflicted with suggestions of negativeness, sing and take glandular exercises so asto encourage the flow of glandular substances. Stir the glands to increased vim, vigor,gumption, power of resistance, will power and determination. No matter what the condition ofthe body, it will aid the power of mind and in turn help you, comfort, strengthen and sustain youwith renewed energies.

Glandular exercises are not solely for the purpose of developing the glands but to stir them.Once again, glands cannot be fed. It is difficult to describe the " glandular stir. " The more weare relaxed, the better we understand and become conscious of renewed energy.

To bring about this glandular stir we exercise the different parts of the body, while gentlysinging some song that appeals to us, conscious of the words, the motion and the melody. Allmust be done in a perfectly relaxed state. This " stir " must be felt from the top of the head tothe soles of the feet.

Through exercises we raise the rate of vibrations of all our glands.

31

Summary

(1) The adrenal glands are the source of physical and mental fire-power.

(2) The adrenals dominate the life history of each individual.

(3) The fire-power of the adrenals is established by the fact that as a last resort, adrenalin isoften injected into the heart of a dying person.

(4) Our greatest burdens derive from our own negative thoughts and beliefs.

(5) Glandular exercises are not to develop the adrenals or our other glands, but to stir themto normal functioning.

Chapter Six

KEYBOARD OF THE BODY --- THE THYROIDS

The pressure of energy in the cells and the mobility of that energy is controlled by the thyroids.The thyroid gland is a horseshoe shaped structure which lies at the base of the neck in the throatregion. The proper function of this gland is a most important factor as it expels, in accordancewith our body needs, the thyroid hormone, thyroxine, which regulates the metabolic rate of thebody.

The word " thyroid " is derived from the Greek, and means shield. This is because in ancienttimes the thyroid was thought to serve as a shield for the trachea.

In addition to its primary purpose, the thyroids are the self-preservation glands which control theintuitive powers and gradually reach into the spiritual, moral, and ethical nature of man. Thethyroid controls the lower part of the head, giving stamina, physical strength and endurance.

This important gland is consequently located where it will receive protection, just as the heartand the dynamics are protected. The heart contains within its back chamber the individualentity, while the dynamics perpetuate the body machinery. The whole of the organic side of ourmake-up, which also includes the circulatory system, upon which the life of the body and itsorgans depend has to get its start in the dynamics.

This includes anything that has not by nature so far become operative. Anything and everythingthat is to be intelligently compared, understood, has to issue from the heart. Where there is nodirect harmony between the one or the other, we only come to know about life in part.

There has to be a regulation of the dynamics, as there must be a regularity of the heart motion.Otherwise, all of our deductions and problems tend to be one-sided. They must work in unison.

The glandular system has for its mission the bringing about of harmony and unity. It is for thisreason that the thyroid system is placed in that strategic region.

The Last Glands To Go

Regardless of what happens the thyroids stay with us. They are the last to give out. When they

32

do, we are gone. That is the reason science thought that by replacing the thyroids it would bepossible for the body to go on living for an indefinite period. Learned men found the correctidea insofar as the importance of the thyroids is concerned. That is, they reached the rightconclusion all right, that the thyroids are of great importance, even a necessity, therefore adepleted body can be restored if the thyroids are kept in action.

Consequently, we know that the thyroids are of inestimable value to the life of our being as faras perpetuity or longevity of cell life is concerned.

The thyroidal system is of great importance in maintaining the glandular system. It is thefunction of the thyroids to perpetuate cellular life, to uphold it for the sake of redeeming theglandular system which sustains our brain cells, the active unit of our mind.

Mind is the factor in the objective to define everything pertaining to the living process. Becausethe thyroids are of such great importance and the last to give out in our system, the facts are :The pituitary gland may not work; the thymus gland does not work; the gonads being one-sided,operating only on a material plane, then eventually become depleted; the adrenals located abovethe kidneys can and do give out, or in the majority of cases, become depleted. This simplymeans the shortening of cell life. Age creeps upon us and we suffer loss of strength and vitalityand eventually lose the courage to carry on.

The thyroids absorb chemically the salts conducive to further distilling processes peculiar to thefunctionings of the glandular system.

The thyroid gland also controls the blood.

It regulates the iodine concentration of the blood. It requires a certain amount of iodine to keepit in normal condition. A lack of iodine in the system will cause an enlargement of this gland,forming the well known goiter. The thyroid secretion is the controller of the speed of living.

Just as the thyroid facilitates energy-production, the pituitary gland is energy-consumption. Itappears, therefore, as the gland of continued body activity.

Melody Based In The Thyroid Gland

When we sing out easily and happily we tend to develop and bring the thyroids into operation.They control the vocal cords. They may be likened unto the keyboard of the body. To the extentthat we are able to manipulate and control the thyroids, we eventually strike the cords which aidin vibrating and revibrating our whole being.

We should not speak loudly, but if we must, only once in a while --- just to test --- to tune upand try out our vocal cords.

The song, Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled, is a melody based upon the laws controlling theglandular system, particularly the thyroid.

It is designed to arouse the thyroid --- otherwise we would not be particular how we sing sincethe melody is of no merit. Singing the melody exactly the way it has been written will effect achange in our thinking and feeling, at least to a degree, as those songs are all written accordingto the laws of being.

All motions of the body, controlled by the mind, are carried by music. Song in a relaxed statebecomes glandular exercises --- otherwise they are merely exercises. We have taken up thestudy of the glandular system and have sufficient proof to establish the fact that the glandularsystem is the system from which the brain derives its power.

33

Once again, the brain can only develop and be in action to the degree that there arecorrespondences with the glandular system. To uphold talents, gifts, endowments with thepurpose of directing them into channels more profitable. The brain cells have to be attuned inaccordance to the knowledge required, and that can only be done through the charging of theglandular system, for the brain is dependent upon the glandular system.

Two-Fold Action Can Be Yours

The thyroids are of tremendous value because of charging and recharging our intellectual sidebut it is not only necessary to charge them, we must also take pains to warm them up. If we canget the gonads to work in harmony with the thyroids, we not only have power of application butwe have joy, happiness, satisfaction in everything that we do.

It is not " what can I get out of it ? " --- that is the cold intellect speaking, but " Whatever ye do,do it to the glory of God. "

The satisfaction of knowing that you can do it suffices, and all else will and must follow as anatural sequence. The intellect alone when not sufficiently developed, tends to keep us in hotwater. After figuring, and even figuring rightly, they are lacking in balance and the power ofapplication and they never arrive at results. Their propositions are not accepted and they have tocontinually struggle. Wereas if they would harmonize the thyroids and gonads, they would fallinto patterns of right action. The more harmony there is in that twofold action, the more will befound in understanding and realization.

The intellect is cold because of the operation of only one factor and that is the thyroid. If thethyroids alone are in operation --- the stronger they are and reach up into the brain --- the moredetached our intellect becomes. As we have previously stated, when we can get the gonads towork in harmony with the thyroids in all our calculations and reasoning, we not only have thepower of application but we have joy, happiness, satisfaction in everything we do.

Where the thyroids are deficient and the gonads are active but not in balance, we have a seriouscase. There is a surplus of fluids and the surplus seeks release. The tendency toward rape canbe found in this situation.

Products of the thyroids and gonads should meet, develop, until the fluids of the gonads uniteand run on parallel lines with the thyroids. The issue of the gonads and thyroids must cometogether and empty into the mighty area of the brain. The more harmony there is in that twofoldoperation, the more there is understanding or harmony.

This same truth holds viable in the body of the female. (see my book, The Science ofRegeneration) When she falls to keep her organs of sex stimulated either by participation orunclothed body contact, she is short-changing the mixture of fluids that should tend to keep hera normal, active and vitally alive person.

Close To The Heart

The thyroidal system is located where the greatest protection prevails. Of all things, let us neverforget the heart. The heart possesses or contains within its back chamber the individual entity,the entity which is equal to the infinite side of being This is the whole of the organic make-upwhich includes the circulatory system, upon which the life of the body and its organs depends.

The glandular system has for its purpose to bring about the uniting, the harmonious operation ofthe heart and the other body dynamics.

Anything that is perpetuative must have its origin in the dynamics; anything and everything that

34

is to be intelligently compared, understood, has to issue from the heart. Where there is no directrelation, no direct harmony between the one or the other, we know of life only in part.

Tenacity Is Important

The thyroids assure unto us health of the body insofar as we apply our tenacity. That is why wehave to have the thyroids; why they are here, that in controlling the back part of the brain whichincludes or has for its controlling, part of our nature tenacity, determination --- as thesefunctions, forces, powers, endowments are being touched up and brightened, lighted, illumined.We never know what it is to step back --- but always go forward.

We need perceptives and therefore it is absolutely necessary that the basic brain is active. Thenwe add to it tenacity to carry us through, for we do not only want to start a thing, we want to seeit through. For therein lies the success of all our venturing. We have to buy our freedom. Itgives us vim, vigor and energy, assisting us to push ahead courageously in the pursuit ofsuccess.

Glandular Activity Influences Longevity Too.

We cannot emphasize too strongly that the thyroids are of inestimable value to the life of theindividual as far as perpetuity is concerned, that is the longevity of the cells. It is the office ofthe thyroids to perpetuate cell life, to uphold it for the sake of activating the glandular system.The thyroid secretion controls the mobility of energy.

The thyroid was originally a sex gland and played an important part in the transformation of seacreatures into land animals, just as it is to play an important part in our transformation into aperfect body. To repeat, the thyroids absorb biochemically the salts conducive to furtherdistilling processes peculiar to the functioning of the thyroids, assuring our general good healthand resisting any and every invasion of foreign germs.

Exercise The Shoulder Blades

Relax, fall into a heap, become conscious of every organ while the chest is erect. Back of thatwall is the power, the force unto life's manisfestation. Just think of the protection that wall givesto the heart and the dynamics --- these two must be of exceptional value. There is also to befound the thyroid system, with its thymus to clear the way. Perhaps that may make us think alittle and make us wonder why it should be so.

All hand-arm-shoulder movements affect the function of the thyroids. To cause the thyroids todistribute their products to the physical brain, use any and all manner of arm exercises.

We rotate the thyroids with the middle finger as well as manipulate them. The best thing formanipulation is a fine brush, like a shaving brush --- it cannot be fine enough. The brush mustbe oiled --- not dripping with oil, just oiled so as to be soft --- then brush the throat regionslowly up and down.

To assist the thyroids employ all body motions and movements where the shoulder blades comeinto play and thereby are eased. No forcing, no tensing --- just relaxed.

There is a difference in the effect which is altogether different from the other exercises. We feela warmth in the chest which is not an electric warmth but a magnetic warmth. It is soothingbecause we are giving life and promise to the thyroids.

35

Summary

(1) The thyroid is the governor or regulating gland of the body.

(2) The mission of the glandular system is to sustain harmony in the body and the thyroid isthe center of operations.

(3) It is now obvious that the thyroid is the gland that sustains continued physical activity.

(4) Complete harmony of the glandular system is imperative otherwise criminal tendenciestake over.

(5) Longevity depends entirely upon balanced glandular activity and the thyroids controlthe speed of development of our living process.

Chapter Seven

GONADS - THE KEY TO LIFE

Within the gonads are to be found all of the factors for health and longevity, vigor-our anduntiring efforts. Without them, the reverse is true.

Without them, we will be subject to all the weaknesses human flesh can possibly be heir to.When normal and under control, the individual shows an even temper, a clear strong voice,foresight, industriousness, ambition, determination, health and the power of application.

Nearly all the trouble and the chaos in this world is responsible for the insufficient knowledge ofthe gonads and their care.

The gonads are twofold in power. They contain both the pro-creative life substance and theability to regenerate the body. In regard to the inherited pre-disposition, the father's chief gift tohis children is the possession of their internal secretions. When these secretions are failing inpotency, he has nothing to impart to the child. It is according to the purity of his blood andfreedom from lack in his secretions that makes for strength of his children

The mother has to supply the whole of the material for the formation of a new being, while thefather supplies only the stimulation to this tedious, difficult and heroic work.

It is also known that the gonads charge the spiritual propensities. Without them, there is nospirituality. The deeper one delves into the spiritual, ethical and moral realms, the greater needis there for these finer connecting links.

The more the gonads, within the real of controlled usage, the more the epiphysis watches inorder to control.

A sub-gonadic condition, when the gonads are depleted, can cause many so-called diseases suchas hardening of the arteries, senility, nervous disorders, rheumatism, gout, and even diabetes.

When we can get the gonads to work in harmony with the thyroids in all our calculation andreasoning, we not only have the power of application, but we have joy, happiness, andsatisfaction in everything we do. All else will follow as a natural consequence.

" I must apply everything to myself "--- that is where the thyroids and gonads meet. They meet,

36

develop and continue to develop until the branches of the gonads unite and run on parallel lineswith the thyroids; just like the Sanpu and the Brahmaputra coming together empty in the mightyocean. That is how the branches of both, the thyroids and the gonads must come together andempty into the mighty ocean of the brain. The more harmony there is in that dual operation, themore there is understanding or realization.

Where the thyroid is deficient, the gonads active but not branching out --- that is a serious case.There is a surplus, and the surplus seeks release. It touches the physical propensities --- Only asmall portion --- but the dangerous part of it is manifest in uncontrollable elements. The gonadsbeing of the spiritual type naturally arouse the spiritual side, but not running on parallel lines,there is lack of harmony --- consequently all the operations are of a destructive nature. To thedegree that we control the one or the other side, they come together and every time there is aspiritual move, the intelligence reveals itself to our senses and we have a broader understandingof things.

Spiritually should come to us naturally. The gonads charge the spiritual propensities and if theydo not do so we have no spirituality. The more expansion on the part of the gonads, the morethe epiphysis watches, setting the rails into a trend of thought which will control them so thatone's development will continue. But if the epiphysis retires, all trend of spiritual thoughtscome to naught. The sexual glands in both men and women contain the creative life-substancewhich feeds all the other glands. In men it is the prostrate gland and the testicles. Once again,the basic principle is : " I must apply everything I learn to myself. "

The gonads being of the spiritual type, when properly treated naturally arouse the spiritual sideof man's nature. When they are not running on parallel lines with the thyroids there is lack ofharmony and consequently all the operations or acts can be of a destructive nature.

To the extent that we are able to not only arouse but to control the functions of both and revealthem to our senses, we have a broader understanding of all things. It seems as if our eyes seeeverything within the range of sight. Instead of turning the eyes from one side to the other, welook straight ahead and lo and behold, all that is within the range of sight is concentrated withinone focalizing point.

The thyroids are of necessity and value because they charge and recharge the intellectual side.But it is not only necessary to charge them, we must also warm them up. When we can get thegonads to work in harmony with the thyroids in all our calculation and reasoning, we not onlyhave the power of application but we have balance. We have the confidence that comes withknowing that we can do it.

The intellect alone when not sufficiently developed, keeps us in hot water. When we seeabundance lacking balance, the power of application is missing. We never arrive at results. Ourpropositions are not accepted and we have to continually struggle --- whereas if we wouldharmonize the thyroids and gonads, everything would fall into place.

We will benefit greatly if we rotate the gonadial region by brushing and oiling. This should bedone mornings and evenings, when once started. Nature calls for this attention every six hours.The absolute time is 5 hours 47½ minutes, but we may say six hours. This need be done foronly a few minutes, until we feel a soothing sensation come over us. That is enough, but thebrush must be lightly oiled.

This treatment will be of no help to a person who is not able after an inhalation to hold thebreath for 45 seconds and who cannot hold the breath for 45 seconds after an exhalation, orrather to arrest all action after an exhalation for 45 seconds. Exhalation has to become secondnature; those who do not take their breathing exercises and who do not attend to themselvescannot expect to make rapid headway unless we observe all the preceding exercises. Robusthealth cannot be created overnight.

37

In the manner of rotating, first run the brush along the groins, the pelvis, even the buttocks, andparticularly along the sciatic nerve. Keep on with the rotating motion until you feel an electricshock passing through the whole of your body. These shocks will rise to the top of the pinealgland or epiphysis, which is the most important of all the glands in controlling and directing thebrain. In bringing about correspondences between our brain cells, we get knowledge,understanding, comprehension and realization.

When you rotate the gonads, you will notice that strength and vitality of the internal secretionswill be distributed through-out the body. Then comes the time when we take ourselves in hand,as it were, mornings and evenings or on retiring.

Brushing with a soft oiled brush, first the gonads then the thyroids, then the pituitary gland. Byusing our thumb, we can vibrate the thymus which is necessary to our well-being. As wemature we need the gonads or sex glands for the purpose of regenerating our physical forces.They must be activated so as to aid in the absorption of the internal secretions. Our blood mustbe recharged so as to bring about regeneration and rejuvenation. This process of recharging theblood will bring on regeneration of the nervous system.

With the blood and nervous system at our command, upheld, perpetuated by virtue of therenewed action on the part of the glandular systems we save these cells --- that means to say thatthese cells retain their relation toward one another, bringing about greater perpetuity of the lifeof the cell and greater development on the part of the brain cells.

The releasing of the intelligences that lie hidden therein means a greater and betterunderstanding of life and its manifold operations.

The most important of all the glands in the adult are the sex glands. Even science admits this tobe true and, of course, goes to work and experiments. We do not have to experiment. We knowthat glands can only operate in a healthy state. There where they spread over a surface, or wherethey come around or flatten out instead of being drawn together into tubes and tubularsubstances is where they can become inoperative.

It is only when secretions are created that our hormones can perform their innumerable anddiverse offices, having the power of imparting strength to more than twenty different brainoperations. Then we can say that the sex glands are working properly.

Our body, and consequently the perpetuity of our life supporting cells and tissues, is controlledby and depends upon the endocrine or ductless glands. These run in parallel or pairs, four ofthem as twins, controlling and governing the gonads or sex glands.

By virtue of the internal secretions and their hormones which act like messengers and work theirway directly into the circulatory system, the blood is charged and in so doing creates leucocytos.

Leucocytos is the magnetic field within the circulatory system which weighs, measures, controlsand directs the circulation, making up the consistency of the blood. To the extent that thesehormones carry the variety of operations contained within the internal secretions, the nervoussystem is fed or affected through the blood stream.

In reality, it is a twofold process of regeneration. Regeneration of the nervous whichperpetuates the cellular tissue.

All those persons, irrespective of their base (see my book, Science of Self-Diagnosis) for itmatters not whether the person is physically, intellectually or spiritually based, should first of allenjoy health of the body. That is strength, vitality, and the ability to apply himself to the dailywalks of life. He can work --- nothing wears him out. He can eat anything and everything, andhe is capable of living to a good old age. If through some cause the gonads are interfered with,so that the internal secretions are no longer being forced into the circulatory system, the

38

individual either contracts troubles, disease, or dies suddenly.

He can only live and perpetuate himself as long as the gonadial system continues to operate torelease its internal secretions.

Science is now trying to meet this condition when the individual begins to decline, losesstrength or ages prematurely by an operation. What happens ? Like with everything in ourmake-up, wherever you shorten a circuit in the body, there is a time in which an improvement isshown through a reaction. The internal secretions which heretofore were lost are being re-absorbed for sometime to come, say five years, or in some temperaments nine years.

The individual gradually recuperates, but eventually goes for a second operation which meansdeath.

What must an individual do to stimulate the internal secretions in order to supply the systemwith the fluids necessary to regenerate the circulatory and nervous system ? Instead of vigorousmassage we should use what is called the motion of frotating --- from the French. We mustpractice to achieve gentle motion. It is not pressure, it is a soft caressing motion.

It is to that frotating to which the sex glands of both men and women will respond. They will notdo a thing for us if we rub too hard. We squeeze, pound or knead the rest of the body but not tothe sex region. There, frotation is necessary, because there it is followed by assimilation. Thisis the working into one another, it is the frotating action that brings about the desired results.

Summary

(1) The gonads are twofold in power and purpose. They are both procreative and regenerative.

(2) Within the gonads of both men and women can be found all of the factors of health andlongevity.

(3) When the gonads are either rejected by religious superstition or depleted by wantan usage ofthe body, the person is subject to all manner of physical afflictions.

(4) when the glandular system is out of balance, criminal tendencies all-too-often take over.

(5) Therefore, the sexual glands of both men and women contain the creative life substancewhich feeds all of the other glands.

PINEAL LIGHT 0F THE BODY

The minute pineal gland is of a reddish color, the size of a small pea and is buried deep withinthe lobes of the mid-brain.

It is also known as the epiphysis, from the Greek, meaning to make grow, to bring forth, toproduce.

Descartes, in the l7th century considered the epiphysis to be the seat of the mind. Some personscall it the soul or the third eye.

39

We are related through the epiphysis to God, the Universe and Eternity.

Watchman 0f The Tower

The epiphysis is for the purpose of monitoring all of the operations of the brain and glands, tonote which brakes are required and necessary to maintain the body within the boundary lines ofthe law --- that is, to see that all functions remain within the principles set down for them in thebeginning.

Should this important gland neglect its duties for any reason, then it is responsible for whatfollows --- a collision, a wreck.

In like manner, should there be a slip in the operations of the epiphysis and mind, there is aderailment or thought-wreck. The world at large suffers from these many wrecks andwreckages --- these chaotic conditions. Consequently such a brain cannot come to a fullrealization of its intelligence --- too much time is required in moving the debris, in cleaning thetracks, and before this is completed there is another wreckage in the making.

When going through your glandular exercises your mind should become a blank. You shouldthink of nothing. Your mind should be at rest. Therefore, it is the pineal gland which should beon the alert --- with a steady hand on the brakes, ready to change courses if necessary, alwaysalert. Those are the momentums, the turning points which must be observed.

It is not the epiphysis that imparts a higher and better understanding of the innumerableoperations of the brain. It cannot release its hidden intelligence. It is one unto itself.

The Pineal Controls Every Body Cell

It is established that the pineal gland controls every cell of our being and operates by virtue ofthe fluid, yielding its etheric elements, animating the brain cells. There is joy in the entire beingwhen even one cell is awakened. One awakened cell will demonstrate that all may be redeemed.

The rays of the epiphysis radiate and scintillate like the rays of the sun. The rays whichencounter congenial vibrations are absorbed into the brain; those that find no congenialreception return to the source and are lost.

The epiphysis seeks connection with the thymus. When these two work in harmony, the child-nature of buoyancy and youthfulness continues; but the youthful outlook will cease when thereis no respondent action between these two glands.

The mind proper is confined to that part of the brain called the epiphysis. From there the centerthought is directed to the different parts of the brain which correspond to the different facultiesor divisions of the mind, such as reason, observation, memory and will.

The Pineal Brings Color Into Our Lives

When active, the pineal illumines the whole body. By developing this gland we are able todistinguish colors. With the pineal in full operation we are able to distinguish 776 colors, butthat is only a small part of what we will be able to distinguish when all of our glands becomemore active. The pineal colors and influences our whole outlook on life. We are controlled bylight and color. So we must be careful of our surrounding and dress. Color has a great deal to dowith the whole vibration of our bodies. If we do not watch the colors prevalent in oursurrounding we become ill, mentally and physically.

40

For a moment just think of the benefit of coming in contact with other evolved thinkers. Youfeel as though all your cares were dropped, and you get relief because you are in highervibrational levels than you were before.

The pineal gland is our receiving station. The more we quicken our vision, the more we grow. Itis the colored glass of our being that tends to make everything bright or dull according to ourown environment.

How To Activate Our Astral Receiving Station

The epiphysis is the sun of the whole system. It is the magnet for all etheric waves, permittingthe individual to minimize and comprehend the vastness of space or infinitude, to aninfinitesimal fraction of a molecule. This gland has the power to illumine our whole body, lightevery cell. It is a funnel-shaped organ and vibrates continuously. It is that vibration that sendsthose waves; the higher the vibration the more illumined we become as a total being.

The epiphysis is composed of a spongy substance, and as we have said, is funnel-shaped, withthe large end of the funnel at the crown of the head.

The Rolando fissure is the last part of the skull that closes in the newly born infant. It is like acamera obscura; it works itself round into the brain and the entire body through the spinal cordwhich is the transmitter. As the spinal cord is vibrating and working, so works and vibrates theentire glandular system. That is the part through which we are related to the universal, theetheric, the infinite. Our state of illumination manifests in the region of the epiphysis which isto be seen in the nimbus about the head of the Saints. Some persons are evolved enough torecognize individual auras. It is, in fact, a real radiation visible to those who have eyes to see.So any way we take it, none of us is wholly separate and apart as an individual; each is a link inthe chain of infinite relationships of life. When sitting down in a relaxed manner, working, youshould be able to feel this gland and keep it working, until you become a receiving station.Then consciously it will begin to tingle, and you will begin to hear the astral bells. Somepersons can hear them because of their high vibrational level.

The epiphysis acts as our own wireless receiving station so that we can catch the infinite thoughtcontinuously emanating upon the ever-flowing waves of ether. Our consciousness of thisactivity or functioning of this universal relationship constitutes the psychic state of the soul.

Function Involves Soul

The soul is the state of universal consciousness, and the function of the soul is to carry thethought-wave from the receiving station of the epiphysis to the spirit which has its home in thehuman heart.

"As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is." The soul thus becomes the bridge between time andeternity, connecting the shores of eternity and the sands of time.

One should be able to use the mind to reason, consider, weigh pro and con, contemplate, deduct,to perceive, calculate, to be able to discern and discriminate, to apply our talents, our gifts, to beable to delve into the depth of our being, for in so doing we acquaint ourselves with all thecorresponding lines surrounding our natures ad infinitum.

"Man, know thyself." Now affirm, "I continue to confide in the power of God and to the extentthat I am interested in the objective world, in that Infinite Intelligence, through the contact withthe glandular system, all will be revealed to me for everything, as every trend of thought is inour brain. We only need to attend to our diverse glands, thymus and adrenals, thyroids andgonads, to the pituitary and pineal, that there may be sufficient consciousness to control the

41

thought waves without clashing, and to reveal to me the harmonious laws of life and eternity."

Fluid Conversion Is Important

The most important factor of our glandular system is the epiphysis. Our correspondence withthe epiphysis is the part of the generative system which generates the ovaries, on the one hand,and the testes on the other. To the extent that the epiphysis, which is a gland, and the ovaries aswell as the testes are glands, they operate on parallel lines, the one should respond to the othercontinuously. Then in the generative side, or generatives, the fluids are being etherealized. Allthe fluids being created are not merely for the physical purpose, but to restore and regenerate.

The word conversion is the proper word to use but it is so much understood. For greatestbenefit, keep the body relaxed and also the lower limbs --- consciously let one part after theother come to rest without any weight. We have said either testes or ovaries will be activated.There will be a vibration to the right side of the pelvis or pubic bone. (This is the ladderexercise.) Just like the palpitations of the heart.

If you do not notice it for the first time you will know the reason why you did not notice it. Thatmeans to say, dead; no generation there. Only the physical side is active, but not the internalside, therefore no conversion. The fluids are created and retained for a time and in accordanceto nature's laws, 4 to 8 weeks, and that depends on the temperament of the individual; thennature throws it off again, but does not convert it, and not being converted it will not becomeetheralized.

Regeneration --- A Matter 0f Science

It is regretable that the church and churches have lost sight of the principal factors in thedevelopment of the individual. They have transferred it into the transcendental state, the processof regeneration namely. All of the systems of the world imagine regeneration is a matter ofbelief, a matter of belief instead of a matter of science --- a scientific truth.

For this reason progress has been held back, just on account of this misunderstanding. Thenagain they expect the mind to do what it cannot do, unless it can know. A legless person cannotwalk; therefore a legless mind cannot develop; it cannot develop any more than that which it hasbeen given at the time of gestation. The mind, the vehicle of that mind, which is the epiphysis,the smallest, the most insignificant of the whole of the glandular system. Because it is thesmallest and the most insignificant, almost an infinitisimal part, because of its crystallizations,because of its great power, it rests upon these two feet, as it were, and it depends directly uponits further operations for these two factors on the generative side.

To the extent that we remain materialistic and consider ourselves only for material purposes,therefore not attending to ourselves in a regenerative way, the mind stops. It is only a littleportion that is called epiphysis that retains its operation. The brain becomes inactive. This issomething we should think about.

Regeneration Expands The Mind

Only about ten per cent of the brain cells of the most intellectual person is in use. Thus statisticsshow that only two per cent really think. The epiphysis is the organ that makes us think whatwe are thinking about.

The pineal gland does not charge the brain cells; they have to be charged through the fulloperation of the glandular system. We must become conscious of the focalization of the mind toits center, the epiphysis and the pineal gland. The mind is a state brought about by the operation

42

of the brain, and we have as much mind as we have activity of the brain cells. The expansion ofthe mind depends upon the number of vibrations of cells. The glands are the only factorsthrough which the brain can be charged and recharged, enlivened or recreated, and that requiresa process we describe as etherealization.

As to the glandular system, no two glands are alike, and yet the issue of the glands permeate thewhole body of ours and end up at the epiphysis --- that is where it centers, and there it takes onthe smallest possible form, and within that concentration, it holds the whole power, the life ofthe individual, the thinking powers of the individual, abstract and objective. From there itoperates and proposes, realizes, illumines and all different phases of higher accomplishmentstake place. It runs on parallel lines with the larger glands of a finely constructed nature, equal toits own --- the epiphysis.

The epiphysis, its ingregients, its chemical compounds, the make-up of the epiphysis is identicalto the ovaries or testes. Examination shows that. That should make us think. That should leadus to something. Should open up new avenues. These two : the epiphysis and the generativesare the two important factors; the roots and the crown, the pillars upon which rests the arch ofour being.

We expect a pupil has reasoning powers, we expect a pupil to reason and think things over. Butyou will know no more at the end of the year than you know now, for it is a matter of immediatecomprehension. We have to see ourselves as we really are. We need to think of ourselves thatway. With every part and component part. We have to see ourselves externally and internally,and as we have said before, our mind has to be able to travel from part to part and from organ toorgan and back again. It is in the mind's work --- it is the ray. We call it thought wave.

That is why we say that ideas and opinions are of no value, even though they be objective andsubjective or abstract. They are of no value where they are not being attended by the thoughtwave; that means to say, followed by the epiphysis or the faculty that thinks and goes into theobjective. We want to be able to think that way. Then the things which we have nevercomprehended or understood come to us, where otherwise it would require years and years tounderstand component parts. It is a matter of exercise and it comes to us. Remember that, forthat is why you want to make exercises part of your way of life.

Summary

(1) From ancient times, the pineal or the epiphysis gland was known as the seat of the mind.

(2) This important gland serves as a monitor or regulator for the operation of the brain and allof the other glands.

(3) When active and well-developed, the pineal gland enables us to distinguish color. It alsoillumines the whole body in a most fantastic manner.

(4) The epiphysis or pineal gland is our wireless receiving station for thought emanating fromthe infinite.

(5) Our consciousness of the functioning of this gland establishes our universal relationshipwith God, or the psychic state of the soul.

Chapter Ten

STIR THE GLANDULAR SYSTEM

Although you may not know much about the biological operation of the glands, or be conversantas to their relation to one another, or the scientific terms needed to describe their anatomicalvirtues, the glands must be stimulated if you want to enjoy the benefits sure to follow.

You will have better organic health, an increase in mental performance, and realize that youpossess hidden within your brain an intelligence that knows no barriers, no limitations. There isno special remedy needed to build up the glandular system. There is only one way. Correctbody movements.

We must recharge the system through studied action. We have to use every feasible, possible,plausible motion and movement of the body. We have to stretch every joint, all the sinews, andall the ligaments. We have to learn stretching and tensing through relaxation. We need to studyrelaxation first. It is only possible for you to relax when you retain the breath. Retain thebreath, and everything becomes limp and relaxes just like a rag. You withdraw all feeling andall weight from your body. Exercise every part of the body the same way. They must move thesame way. You must become conscious of the fact that there is no weight to the body. Thisrequires consciousness of mind. It is a mental application.

In all our body movements we should always apply our mind to what we are doing, but alwaysand at the same time the desire to feel relaxed. In putting down your foot on a chair lightly, youwill feel no weight, and yet you put it down with absolute certainty, perfectly relaxed. Shouldyou feel any tension, breathe out. The tension then is gone.

These glandular exercises are not to develop the glands, but to activate them. The glands cannotbe fed, but you can regulate the warmth of your blood and keep comfortable. You can, in fact,

46

overheat the blood by eating the wrong foods. Some persons have warm hands, but dry; thatmeans their blood is overheated. The same with the feet; the skin should be warm and soft,smooth like velvet or satin. That is the way you should feel when going through the exercises.You must feel conscious of every part of the body, of our physical and mental vigor, pride inourselves.

When practicing your glandular exercises you should be conscious of the motion andmovements of your body. All motions done in a perfectly relaxed state stir the whole of theglandular system. We must feel that stir from the top of the head to the soles of the feet. Whenwe do not have that stirring feeling it is because we are still tense

It is difficult to describe that stir, but it is like the tremolo in the voice. While your muscles maybe massaged and manipulated, your vertebrae adjusted, your joints loosened, sinews stretched,and the body in general aroused, none of these applications reaches the glands in generalaroused, none of these applications reaches the glands which in their nature and operationsdecidedly differ from the circulatory and the ganglionic systems. The glands are in a class bythemselves. These can be stirred by mechanical vibrations akin to the operations of the mind.However, violence repels the glands. The more force we use, the less they will respond.

As the gland systems are two-fold in their operations, it is possible that this is where thephysical propensities assert themselves. During your growth and development you increasetheir operations as far as the emptying of elements into the blood stream is concerned, and theemptying of compounds into the organic side, the functional side is concerned, yet the innersecretions are witheld with too much physical exertion and with it further development of thebrain cells is retarded.

Exercise In A Relaxed State

The movements you will learn are all you need to know. When you start practicing withyourself you just begin to realize how many joints there are in your physical care. You have todo them if you are to quicken the glandular system, which entwines every part of your body.You will need to do these exercises.

You can take all your various joint exercises before the mirror and every kind of a movement,where there are joints and do it perfectly relaxed. Do not tense, do not force. Be perfectlyrelaxed in going through the various motions. And then you threw your hands around you andkeep on touching up each part of the body and get hold of your hands behind you. In all thesepositions you must throw out your chest. Be proud of yourself, proud of your physicalachievements.

All of the postures and positions are for the quickening of the glandular system. Once you startpracticing, you must practice every day. You should repeat your exercises every twelve hours.You have to do that so as to succeed, so as to gain your increase of glandular activity.

PRACTICE EVERY DAY ! Irregularity will not work.

Nature needs to recuperate, has to adjust herself every twenty-four hours. Two hours out ofevery twenty-four she selects for absolute recuperation. You may stand the less of one night'ssleep, but if you lose two night's sleep, you begin to feel it. Three night's sleep lost, then youbegin to draw upon your vitality, your reserve fund. If you were to keep it up, you wouldcollapse; then it takes long to build up.

Once we begin a thing we have to keep at it, and each day we get a step farther toward our goal;with each day we are growing mentally stronger. Where once we did not understand theglandular system with all our charts and manikins before us --- we did not fully comprehend.Now we understand what we must do. Now we gain control over ourselves and become

47

conscious of every joint and every organ. We begin to feel every gland, we feel it in the fingers.They have to do our exercises, until we are perfectly limp.

Our object is to gain control over the biceps and triceps which connect with the spirit.

With the ideal, our perception is sharper. You are now equal to any person living. Soon youwill be able to place hands on back of a chair and lift it with no weight. Do not move it withweight. Do not allow the chair to touch the floor once you start. It goes of its own accord. Youmove it with your own magnetism. Use the lower part of the palms, not the fingers. It shouldcome back to its own position without any body contact. Keep your hands flat so as not to cutthe magnetism. A sharp edge will cut the magnetism. There must be no pressure, no weight inthe hands.

The principle thing to know is that every exercise must be taken with understanding. The mindshould dwell on each movement. Every joint of the body must be relaxed. This can only beaccomplished through constant repetition. We should exercise twice a day.

Knowledge of the ethereal side of the glandular system has become quite universal. Scientificgiants realize the inestimable value of this great revelation. Hopes and visions are at lastfulfilled !

What once seemed a privilege to but a few has become an inheritance, a birthright to all.Stirring the glands to a higher rate of vibrations opens up the occult realm of the brain andreveals through the mind the unlimited intelligence.

You are now ready to begin your approach to Cosmic Awareness.

Summary

(1) Hidden within your brain is an intelligence that knows no barriers or limitations.

(2) The only way to build up the glandular system is with correct body movements.

(3) The glandular exercises are not to develop the glands, but to activate them.

(4) The exercises should be repeated every twelve hours.

(5) The glandular exercises must be taken with understanding.

BODY MOVEMENTS

Details and correlations of the human glandular system were presented in the precedingchapters. Only a few explanations are necessary for the following pictures of exercises in orderto make the essential meaning of each exercise clear.

As we combine each exercise and position with what was said previously, it reveals to us muchmore than the few explanations seem to suggest. One will realize this to the degree of hisinterest and dedication.

48

For all glands and organs…

(a) Lie flat on your back allowing your legs to bend at the knee and hang freely over the edgeof a bed or table. Push your fingers under your ribs. Empty your lungs in long, rhythmicexhalations.

(b) As you practice this body movement, direct total attention to your chest. You will soonfind the proper position for this point of focus as you slowly pull in the abdomen. Let itgradually pull higher and higher as one would tune the strings of a violin.

Strengthen the Abdomen…

(a) Lie flat on your back allowing your 1egs to bend at the knee and hang freely over the edgeof a bed or table. Push your fingers under your ribs. Pull one foot as close as possible to thebuttocks, but without being tense. Repeat with the other foot.

(b) Do this body movement for three minutes, six hours apart to gradually eliminate weaknessin the abdomen.

49

(a) Lie on your right side. As you relax, slowly pull the left knee up and press it to the chestusing both hands. Turn on your left side and repeat with the right knee.

(b) Practice this body movement for three minutes, six hours apart, to gradually control heartand liver problems.

New Life for Reproduction Glands...

(a) Sit on a straight chair. Then tuck the right ankle under the left thigh. Let your leg danglefreely over the floor. Clench your fist and, without tension, stretch your arms forward and back.Change positions of the legs and repeat.

(b) Practice this movement for three minutes, six hours apart, to help strengthen reproductionglands.

50

For the Kidneys...

(a) Sit cross legged (Oriental Style) on a chair. Cross your arms and use your elbows to spreadthe knees --- at first with your arms crossed, then gradually pull your arms further apart untilyour hands are clasped together.

(b) Do not exert pressure with your elbows and avoid tension. The spreading of the kneesshould be done gently so that you remain in a relaxed position.

Practice this body movement for three minutes, an hour apart, to help free yourself from kidneyailments.

For the Back and Spine...

(a) Sit cross legged (Oriental Style) on a chair. Lift one arm high into the air and stretch theother arm down as far as possible, without tension. Clench your hands lightly. Repeat with theother arm.

(b) Do this body movement for three minutes, 6 hours apart, to keep the back, spine, fingers,arms and shoulders supple and flexible.

51

For the spleen...

(a) Sit on the floor with your legs stretched and touch your toes, if possible, but withouttension.

(b) The spine should remain as straight as possible and the knees down. Practice this bodymovement for three minutes, six hours apart.

Note : The spleen is the reservoir for the "electrism" of the body and the body takes from itsreservoir according to its needs.

If, however, the spleen is out of order, an abundance of electric power goes directly to the brainwhere it stirs the imagination to intense activity.

ONE COULD BECOME A DREAMER WITH ONLY A TEMPORARY FEELING 0F LUCK AND HAPPINESS !

In order to achieve permanent success, sufficient electricity is needed in our body to eradicateold damages and prevent new complications.

To Restore Body Balance...

(a) Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Clasp your hands behind yourneck, keeping the elbows back as far as possible. Keep your back and neck straight. Then pullone foot towards you and place it flat on the floor with the heel as close to the buttocks as youcan manage without tension. Alternate with the other foot.

52

(b) Do this body movement for three minutes, six hours apart.

For bowels and gall bladder...

(a) Sit on the floor with legs stretched out in front of you. Then pull up both your legssimultaneously until your heels touch the buttocks. Clasp your hands behind your neck, keepingthe elbows back as far as possible without tension. Turn your torso to one side and then theother.

(b) Practice this body movement for three minutes, six hours apart.

For the Glands...

(a) Lower the body to a squatting position, with both feet flat on the floor. Then stretch oneleg forward, sideways and behind, to the tune of a melody which you hum or sing. Repeat withthe other leg. Throw a fist forward and to the side, then repeat with the other arm and leg.

Put one hand on the resting knee and throw the other fist forward, sideways, and back, to therhythm of a melody.

(b) Practice this body movement for three minutes, six hours apart. The rejuvenated glandsproduce an etherealized saline which refreshes the whole body.

53

For the Brain...

(a) Lower the body to a squatting position. Move your feet forward, back, to the side, or in anyorder --- jumping occasionally while still in the squatting position.

(b) This body movement, gradually practiced --- for three minutes, six hours apart --- has alsobeen known to have a therapeutic value for paralysis.

For the Nerves...

(a) Sit on the floor with your legs stretched in front of you. Put your fists at the base of yourneck in your shoulder cavities. Inhale and hold your breath for a moment, then touch the solesof your feet with your fingers reaching as far up the bottom of your feet as possible withouttension. Keep the upper part of your body straight, bending only at the hips.

While leaning forward --- exhale, and after a short pause, inhale. Then assume the first positionagain and repeat.

54

(b) Practice this body movement for three minutes, six hours apart.

FOUNTAIN 0F LOVE

A Glandular Exercise

Position :Sit upright in a chair, raising the chest up and out, the shoulder blades drawn backward, with thechin slightly drawn in. Keep this position throughout the whole of the exercise, never loweringthe chest no matter what motion you make. Always move in rhythm with the melody, as yousing it.

(1)Rotate both hands around each other about 10 inches from your chest, keeping your mind on therotating parts; this will relax them. Rotate first forward, away from you, and then backward,toward you, keeping elbows still. Perform each movement the length of the melody.

(2)Throw one arm up and then the other, straight up and down, while the arms remain relaxed,moving in rhythm with the melody. Then throw both arms up and down together at the sametime, with the melody.

(3)Rotate the arm in a circle close to the sides of the body, with closed fists. Bring your armforward, keeping elbows bent and close, slightly raising the shoulder as you raise fists. Rotatearms first forward and then backward.

(4)With the spine erect rotate the head on the axis, first to the right and then to the left. Next throwthe head forward and backward as far as the axis will permit. Next move the head from right toleft as far as possible, as if you are trying to look behind you without moving your shoulders, inrhythm with the melody.

(5)Close your fists loosely and with a relaxed wrist, tap your chest with the right hand twice whiletapping with the left only once. Then pound with both fists at the same tine all over the chest ina circular pattern, still keeping the wrist relaxed.

(6)Raise the arms and fold then in front of you at the elbow and grab with each hand the oppositeshoulder, holding on tightly. In this position rotate the body from the small of the back upward.Keep the spine erect and keep the chest wall up and out during the rotation. Rotate first to theright and then to the left. Next, in the same position, move the body as far forward andbackward as you can, always with the spine perfectly erect.

(7)Sitting in an up right position, throw your right leg and then your left leg from the knee straightout, throwing your right leg to the left and the left leg to the right, alternating in rhythm with themelody. Then draw both 1egs up towards your chest as high as possible without loosing yourbalance of using your hands, moving the 1egs quickly up and down touching with your feet thefloor lightly, in rapid succession.

(8)Stretch your right leg straight out in front of you while you rotate the foot from the ankle, first tothe right and then to the left. Then do the same with the left leg and foot. With your feet flat onthe floor, pound with both fists (wrists relaxed and loose fists) up and down from the thigh to

55

the ankle alternating with the right and left fist.

(9)While sitting upright very relaxed, drop your hands on the thighs. Sing the song one time more,emphasizing the words at the beginning and the end of each stanza as you forcibly breathe outthe words of the song in a semi-whisper.

TRA-LA-LA

A Glandular Exercise

(You will find this melody in Avesta in Song, on page 182.)

This exercise is especially important for the awakening of the pituitary and the thymus glands aswell as other glands in our system.

When we sing the words, tra la la, we roll our tongue upwards --- so that the tip of the tonguestrikes the upper soft palate. There in that palate are located the nerve ends through which wecan stimulate the pituitary gland.

(1)Move both arms straight forward as far as possible. Hold the hands sideways with the fingerspointing towards each other, the fingers slightly bent. As you bring your arms toward you inrhythm with the melody, tap your fingers on the center of your chest where the lower ribs cometogether. When the melody of the song reaches the last part of the second line, place bothfingertips in the same place where you have tapping. With pressure on the fingertips, vibrate upand down until the end of the melody.

(2)Move both arms straight out to the side of the body. Stick out your thumbs and bend yourelbows, bringing the arms back close to the body and raising then slightly so that the thumbsstrike the upper part of both shoulders just below where the shoulder slopes away from the neck.Here are located nerve ends which, when struck with the thumb, will stimulate the wholenervous system. When you arrive at the same place in the melody as in Exercise number one,repeat the same as in number one until the end of the melody.

You can do many variations of this exercise, depending upon what part of the body you want tostimulate.

For example, the exercise to improve hearing. While you sing, place both middle fingers intoyour ears and vibrate with the fingers shuting out the sound. In the second part of the exercise,repeat the second portion of Exercise number one.

If you want to stimulate the eyes, place the middle fingers into the corners of the eye withouttouching the eye itself, and vibrate to the center of your nose causing the eyeballs to move backand forth. Always return to the second part of Exercise number one.

Another variation is to place your fists in your back right on the spot where the kidneys are, thehollow of the small of the back. There press with your fists and frotate the kidneys. In thesecond part, return to the center of the chest.

In still another variation, you can raise both arms and then place then in a folded position ---while your fingertips pound the shoulder close to your neck.

56

Never forget that regardless of what notions you make, keep the tongue rolled up, tickling thesoft palate as we sing tra la la.

The reason we sing while making the body movements is that the song is the inner massage andthe physical movements are the outer massage.

Only in this manner can we stir the glands to greater activity so that the vital parts produced bythe glands empty and are carried directly to the brain.

THE RANA BA JA

A Glandular Exercise

This exercise is especially beneficial for the kidneys, the adrenals, and the gonads.

Select a sturdy stool or chair for the exercise. The melody is an ancient Arabic melody used inthe Arabian Desert by the camel drivers in charge of the caravans. The leader sang the song andthe camels followed in its rhythm.

Imagine that you are riding on a camel. Remember that a camel does not walk like a horse butsways from side to side in a jerky motion. Then occasionally the camel steps into a hole whichcauses you to bounce up, then down. When you bounce up and down is left entirely up to you --- since you never know when a camel will step into a hole.

Keep one basic rule in mind; the head must always be above the spine with the spine firm anderect. All the swaying and bouncing is done in the hip region, never lowering the head.

Each motion follows the melody which was written in accordance to the rhythm of a camel as itwalks. It is difficult to describe the notion. RANA-BA-MOYA... RANA-BA-YA-MOYA... RANA-YI-LEILIDUM-SU-UK-NO... RANA-YA-MO-YA.

While going around the oval shape, you make about seven rocking bounces, moving forwardand backward according to the rhythm of the melody.

For the Stimulation of the thymus and thyroid :

Sit in an upright position with the spine erect, the chest up and out and the chin slightly drawnin, until the head rests directly over the spine. While you inhale or exhale the upper chest walldoes not move --- it remains stationary.

All the motions of this exercise are made following the rhythm of the melody of the song, ILeave Thee Not, in the Avesta in Song, page 178.

In a sitting position, stretch your right arm straight out in front of you with the hand open. Asyou return your arm toward the body, close your hand and form an Egyptian fist where thethumb closes ever the ring finger. As you move your arm backward, make a half turn with yourfist so that your fingers are now on top.

Then in a quick motion, bend your elbow and let the arm pass your body moving backwards asfar as possible with a jerk. Then come forward with your arm into the original position andrepeat the movements for the length of the melody until you reach the word "Electrify." Stopthere and repeat the same movements with your left arm. Do this for the length of the melody tothe same stop. Then make the same motions with both arms at the sane time and again stop atthe same place.

57

When we have repeated this routine first with the right arm and then with the left arm and thenwith both arms together, we come to the part of the melody where we change the notions at theword "Electrify" --- we throw out our arms part way with the hands open and the fingers curvedinward so that you can tap the chest in short rhythmic taps --- hitting the middle of the chest oneither side of the center. When the melody changes to the "every body" part, throw out the armsto their full length, still tapping the chest in the same way. When the melody and words changeto "now and for-ever-more," draw in your arms to about 8 inches from your chest. Then taprapidly in quick motion using force, the same as before. Repeat this exercise three times.

Summary

(1) You must have faith in the principle of growth.

(2) We must pay attention to and practice body movements that will stimulate glandularactivity.

(3) We know that each body cell is absolutely individual.

(4) We knew that our glands are the key factor in our living process.

(5) I must think as a great master artist in creating, sustaining and energizing body, mindand spirit

Chapter Twelve

"AND IN CONCLUSION..."

The glandular system, as we have already said, is so closely related to and entwined with thenervous system and the circulatory system that it demands not only good eyesight, but itnecessitates most powerful lenses to discover these fine fibres that run along the nervous systemand sometimes entwine it. The glandular ligaments are all ever the whole system of ours, thesame as the sympathetic system, and you can not cut any part of the body but blood will issueforth. These three great systems are closely related to each other, but each system performs aparticular function at first, but when they are drawn into relation and compelled to tun onparallels, that is the time when you awaken to a new consciousness.

We have studied the circulatory system, and we have been amply repaid for all our study and theexperiments that we have made. We have been amply repaid for the study of the nervoussystem. We have learned to control it to at least a degree in order to cope with reality. Now wehave learned of the third or glandular system that makes it possible to rejuvenate and regenerateand therefore rebuild. And thus we come to understand more fully that the spirit of life is not inour nervous system, it is not in our circulatory system. The spirit of life is in the glandularsystem.

The Three Great Body Systems Control Our Destiny

These three great systems, the circulatory, the nervous and the glandular system are closelyrelated, entwined or woven together. Yet in this study we have to separate the glandular systemfrom the ether two. On the glandular system the quickening of that system, the animating,enlivening, rejuvenating, our ability not only physically but mentally depends. The averageperson, remember, no longer advances mentally. We can see that if we look around. Even the

58

best and most academically educated does not advance. It is all repetition; there is no additionalknowledge; in fact, they are greatly surprised when something new is revealed. When there is alittle discovery made, which is not a discovery but a repetition of something which has beenforgotten --- when that is disclosed to the thinking world, the subject comes out in the open fordiscussion --- just as when Darwin announced to the world his theory of evolution, it was a greatsurprise. Just so was the case in 1869 when it was reported to the world the theory of thesympathetic nervous system. Previous to that time it was unknown to the western world; up tothat time not too many learned men had dissected the body in its entirety.

The Vertebrae Is The Keyboard Of The Body !

Most of humanity is glandularly dead.

The only part and portion that is active to a degree, to a certain extent is the generative side, butthe rest of the glandular system is normally out of commission. Our glands do not work. This iswhy advancement as a humanity has been so slow. It has taken us thousands and thousands ofyears to reach the point we have now attained.

Our glandular system is the system we need to quicken. There is only one way. By activatingall body joints and through the flexibility of the joints set every vertebrae of the spinal column.You can make your thought wave run down the spinal column the same as your fingers glideever the keyboard, and you strike each one of those vertebrae with the proper note, the propervibration.

It must always appear to you like the keyboard and each and every one of these vertebrae, everyone vibrates in unison to the scale in music, and accordingly you attune every one of thosevertebrae. Having learned to have control over every joint of the body with that absoluteflexibility, that absolute relaxation, then whenever you strike a key the vertebrae has to respond.To the extent that they respond you are conscious of that vibration. You are conscious of thefact that every vertebrae is being touched, from the atlas down. To that extent you have alreadygained control ever the glandular system. It is now easy to unfold and develop otherwise.

Once you start in practicing the exercises we have supplied for your use, you have to practiceevery day, and you have to repeat your exercises every twelve hours. You have to do that tosucceed, so as to gain your points. DO IT EVERY DAY ! Irregularity will not work. Nature has torecuperate, has to adjust herself every twenty-four hours. Two hours out of every twenty-fourshe selects for absolute recuperation. Once we start a thing we have to keep at it, and each daywe get a step nearer to our goal. With each day we are growing mentally stronger, so that whereheretofore we did not understand the glandular system with all our charts and drawings beforeus, we did not get the idea, but now we understand.

Positive Relaxation Is The Principle Of Growth

We will not grow tired of these exercises as long as we relax. But the moment we tense, thesinews draw up, and the muscles contract, we grow tired. Certain parts of the body becomeweak; we are then turning from a relaxation exercise into one of gymnastics. We do not needgymnastics in glandular development : WE NEED CONTROL. We need positive relaxation, for itis the controlling of every motion by virtue of the mind that counts. We call it mental exercise.It is positive relaxation.

In all these glandular exercises we must never force ourselves. We only need to go throughglandular exercises, keeping the mind on every motion and doing them in absolute relaxation.We need concentration, and we will get it through the glandular exercises done in a relaxedmanner.

59

Day by day we realize more fully the value of positive relaxation. Our body is perfect, but tobecome acquainted with it takes time and practice. Every phase and every state that constitutesour higher self is perfect in itself, but we must reach these planes one by one; we have to grow.We eventually enjoy every motion, every movement which causes every tissue in our body tovibrate with good. All the corresponding parts and parallel lines know how to harmonize, toutilize. The movements are up to you.

Every exercise we take must be followed by the mind; there must be concentration --- withoutthat the mind, the body, can do nothing. The mind will only work when we give it anopportunity, when we direct our mental faculties, even ever so little.

We have to watch ourselves as to effects. We must discover them through the exercises.Remaining on the alert, so as to notice the difference between one position of the body andanother. The next time we make a certain motion or movement our mind already adjusts itselfto these various effects. We become more conscious of our being.

Our level of consciousness depends entirely upon how well we have activated the last of thethree great systems which govern and control life, and that is the glandular system.

To become conscious of the real object and purpose of life we need the assistance of theglandular system which holds and presents the finest fineness in matter. By stirring thecirculation organic health is improved. Exercises develop the nervous system, but the glandularsystem, when once aroused, begins to get hold of things; the faculties are sharpened and theintelligences are applied through the operations of the brain. These intelligences establishthemselves throughout the various parts of the body. Every single cell is vitalized.

The mind is located in the highest form of crystallization of the glandular system. It cannot be inthe nervous system, for the nervous system is identical in operation, in action. The circulatorysystem has only one function to perform, and the blood is everywhere identical. Unless thecirculatory system is interfered with, toxic wastes for example, we are operating at a higherlevel of efficiency.

The glandular system represents the ultimate in matter. Matter can only manifest to the point ofcreating avenues for the mind to bring forth. Matter which has been endowed with all thepropensities and properties of evolution and creative energy must realize the particular functionassigned to various parts. WE HAVE TO PREPARE THE WAY.

The glandular system must be awakened to its own possibilities, not only in charging the graymatter, but to charge and recharge it, so as to get hold of the intelligences and consequently thecomplexities of intelligence embodied within these brain cells. We are created perfect, but weneed to be recreated that the perfection still hidden in us may be used to greater advantage. Wemay be as sharp as a steel knife; we may be thoroughly grounded in the concepts of growth, butwe are of no use unless our mind is kept in tune. Otherwise, we are dull. We find ourselvesbeing set aside.

You must realize that self-preservation is the first law in nature and that you must live your ownlife to its greatest capabilities. For example, through exercise and attention the thymus willagain begin to function properly and we will become more aware of our good. We will not haveto pin our faith upon those around us --- we place that faith in the infinite intelligence within us.If we were to do as everybody wants us to do we would all become wrecks. When we lack faith,confidence, assurance, steadfastness, when we doubt, are uncertain, it is because we lack the fullsupport of the thymus.

This mind of ours searches, seeks, analyzes that it may have power, greater power of recall.Remembering all there is we need to know even comprehending magnitude, vastness, infinitude.You cannot set any barriers to the mind, for in your mind, and eventually through all of ourcellular make-up there is the intelligence which prompts us to seek our most beneficial

60

environment.

Our creative energy lies in our circulatory system. The evolutionary processes of growth are notconfined in our being to the nervous system. The way to perfection lies imbedded in theglandular system, and to the extent that this glandular system becomes generative, to that extentwe draw nearer to perfection. To derive all the good there is in life, we must ascend, we muststimulate our glands to full operating capacity.

Even the very best and most successful physicians in the world, including Dr. Lane of Londonand Dr. Dengue of Paris, all agree that if a body which is diseased were to follow a diet bestsuited to their needs, and thus relieve the body of further increase in salts and acids, if then thatbody is properly exercised, that body could be restored to a normal condition. It is thecontinuity of exercising scientifically that increases the rate of circulation, the rate of vibrationto the nervous system, the glands will respond, and thus mind and body will begin to improve.

Obviously the glandular system is the means by which we can improve our health and well-being. The circulatory system has done a great deal for us since we have learned to understandit more fully. The nervous system has proven of inestimable value to us, but that is not all thereis to us, there is more, much more.

It is easy to talk about health and strength, joy and happiness, bountiful supply, and we shouldhave them all. We have everything to work with. If we have not established anythingworthwhile it is because of our negligence; we are too neglectful, still a little too visionary, stillallowing ourselves to dream, to drift.

In studying the glandular system --- and we admit it is quite a study --- whether we will be ableto apply it, whether we will derive any results from it, that is left to you as an individual todetermine. One thing is certain : advanced work will be of no value to us, unless we havefollowed fundamental instructions, unless we have stayed close to everything pertaining to thelaying of a foundation. We are risking the loss of our valued health.

First of all, in order to awaken the glandular system it is expected you have learned to encouragethe circulatory system to full activity. In controlling and stimulating the circulatory system youare charging the blood with all the required elements of breath, water and directed bodymovements which are the dynamics of healthful living.

The glandular system, no matter what you do for it, will stimulate, will help some, but youcannot redeem yourself entirely and absolutely, unless you have learned to understandsomething about the circulatory system which is under your control.

To gain control over the glandular system you cannot get along without the power of breath. Itis not a matter of study but of practice of right breathing together with the glandular exercises.Your mind is right with it. It runs along every part of your being which you set into motion.The mind is there, and that is of importance, because you must awaken the glandular system toevery part of the body for the purpose of reclaiming their correct function.

Illumination, realization, higher unfoldment is not dependent upon ideas, however beautiful theymay be, but it depends upon regenerating the glandular system. Only through activating theglandular system can you hope to charge and recharge the brain cells. The function of theglandular system is threefold : pro-creative, health creative, and regenerative.

Basically the glandular system is for recreative purposes, procreative purposes and forregenerative purposes.

We have to bring about a condition where the fluids formed within us are retained within us tosuch a degree that they are converted, etheralized and spiritualized and taken up through and byvirtue of the glandular system.

61

The nervous system cannot do it, for it is not within the province of the nervous system. Youcannot otherwise convert the fluid which is developed by the glandular system for your use.You have the key to the situation, the key to it all. Just as the key to the circulatory system isthe breath and correct body movements. The nervous system depends upon assimilation and sethe key to the glandular system is conversion.

We can get a great deal out of our breathing system. We sustain ourselves through thecirculatory and nervous systems, but when it comes to the glandular system we have to gothrough these exercises with absolute relaxation. We must do all movements consciously.

We Must Know Our Subject Matter

We must know all about the glandular system. Consequently our study is that of applying themind to all the phases of their operations. We need to know how the brain develops, by whatsupportive means the brain cells work, to what extent these brain cells correspond to theintelligence in nature, and what we may or can expect from this receiving station of ours. Thismuch we know, this much is certain, and science bears it out, that the greater portion of thehuman brain is still not being properly used. The greatest mental giants use but a very smallportion of the brain. We can thus readily see what there is in store for us, what is to beexpected. It shows the great possibilities, since we can already fathom them to a degree.

All of the information known in the world today is based upon the use of a small portion of ourbrain. When we make comparisons we readily understand that when we compare the humanmind (not the brain), to its development or the mental possibilities with these of 100 years ago,of the minds of 200 years ago, and so on back to the days of the Reformation.

Let us consider the level of consciousness in the middle ages, the dark ages, or the first centuriesof Christianity. The days of the pagan and paganism in all its various forms, or the even lowerlevel of savage state. The savage had identically the same number of brain cells that we havetoday. The savage of today, the wild man, the cannibal, has exactly the same number of braincells, but their mental horizon is limited, because only a small portion of their brain, if any, is inoperation.

For example, the brain of the fish is located between the eyes. We call that part perception. It isjust a small little pot of gray matter, very watery looking, not solidified; but that little bit of a dotof gray matter sufficies for that fish to upheld the first law in nature, self-preservation. Withthat small, tiny bit of watery gray matter he is on the lookout; he protects himself; he finds hisrequired food for nourishment; he meets with his own kind; he lives. And that is all the brain heneeds !

As we go on with the evolutionary processes and their products we see the gathering of graymatter in creatures, and though the connection of that gray matter is slow, it eventually solidifiesinto gray matter, until in man we find a complete organ.

In examining cell upon cell, magnified, we find in that brain cell an appearance in operation,vibration, action and motion, color display equal to an atom. And an atom greatly magnifiedreveals to us a universe in miniature, with its electrons, its centro-somes, its worlds, its starlightappearance, each object whirling within its radius.

This gray matter, reduced to a minimum, corresponds to the atomic and thus the ethereal world.

As we grow, develop, as we advance, first as a whole race, as a whole humanity, then here andthere the one and the other rises more readily above his fellow beings, realizing and recognizingthe greater possibilities of the human mind, and even then only insofar as a developmentcorresponds with existing laws of nature is there a possibility of development and unfoldment.

62

And here we find the Savior, again the superior, the sublime scientist of all ages, saying to hisdisciples "Even greater things than these that ye concede unto me even greater things ye shalldo." Think of it --- 1900 years ago there was a mind that could see it, that recognized yourpossibilities for an ever unfolding future.

"Yea, greater things than these ye shall do."
